Research Focus

Dr. Rezaei's research focus broadly lies at the interface of chemical, materials science and environmental engineering, and the overall goal of her research group is development of advanced materials and processes for clean energy and sustainable chemical processes. In particular, Dr. Rezaei's research relates to fundamental and applied aspects of adsorption, separation, and reaction in gas systems.


Adsorptive Gas Separation

  • Multicomponent gas adsorption
  • Indoor air quality control
  • Structured adsorbents for gas separation
  • Adsorptive separation of light hydrocarbons
  • Natural gas/biogas upgrading
  • Direct air capture
  • VOCs emission control
  • Radioactive rare-gas separation

Gas Storage and Sensing

  • Methane storage for on-board vehicular applications
  • Hydrogen storage for on-board vehicular applications
  • Sensors for toxic gases and chemical vapors

Process Design, Modeling and Optimization

  • Swing adsorption processes (PSA,TSA,VSA)
  • Intensified separation-reaction processes
  • Techno-economic analysis (TEA) and life cycle assessment (LCA)
