UB CBE PhD candidate is a finalist in UB's three minute thesis competition

As a chemical and biomedical engineering doctoral student, Omkar's professional opinion is that all cheese is good, and more cheese is preferred. Omkar's hometown is Mumbai, India, and he wants to explore every major U.S. city in the next five years. His research focuses on enhancing gas separation capacity and decreasing gas separation costs by using molecular simulation to simulate MOP's gas absorption and separation capacity. He and his research team have also developed a new theoretical model to estimate these results and computed a methodology to simulate MOP, which has realistic results similar to those of experiments. He hopes his research will help reduce energy demand and increase productivity.
