MoDSE lab team had an impressive outing at the #AIChE2024 Annual Meeting where we presented advances in our #lignin valorization research.
Publication Alert
We developed a charge-mediated process for sinapic acid recovery from enzymatic hydrolysate whereby the principle of "like charges repel and opposite charges attract" helped to improve nanofiltration membrane separation: doi.org/10.1016/j.memsci.202…
Let's celebrate @william_in_917 as he joins @modselab for his #internship.
William, a senior at Adlai E. Stevenson High School, is passionate about #chemicalengineering processes for creating #SustainableEnergy resources.

Join us to welcome Barakat Kadir to @ModseLab!
Barakat Kadir is currently a high school senior at Muchin College Prep. She is interested in pursuing a career in chemical engineering. instagram.com/p/C-bFgU1AvvG #chemicalengineering #sustainability #internship
hands-on technical skills, expand his knowledge and interests, and prepare him for future roles. At @ModseLab, he is investigating the #antioxidant activity of #lignin for pharmaceutical uses. This research will help me further his pharmaceutical interest with hands-on work.
Her experience in the restaurant industry has made her aware of the significant amount of unnecessary waste generated, which she hopes to help reduce. She is excited to participate in research on #lignin #depolymerization and the creation of #biodegradableplastics.
Join us to celebrate our new group member, Karoll Cancino!
Karroll holds a BS in Chemical Engineering from Colombia. She is passionate about sustainable chemistry, particularly addressing the food waste issue and its significant impact on biodiversity.
Her focus lies in seeking new material substitutes to address overproduction and pollution waste challenges, aiming to mitigate the environmental impact of industrial processes on ecosystems. #sustainablechemistry #lignin #research #teamwork
Happy Thanksgiving!
We are grateful for all that has been accomplished in 2023 and we are optimistic about 2024!
Happy Thanksgiving from everyone at @ModseLab.
In a commemorative event for National First Gen Day organized by the UIC Equity & Inclusion in Engineering Program at the University of Illinois Chicago, Prof. Ezinne Achinivu and other panelists encouraged the students.
