Carbon materials for a more sustainable future
As many countries fight to decrease the carbon emissions into the air, carbon as a solid material can be the solution for many new and more sustainable technologies.
My work aims to better understand carbon interactions with gases, a problem that is fundamental for some carbon fabrication processes, soot and NOx abatement techniques, gas storage, among others.
