Research
Sasha is working to utilize x-ray techniques to gain a mechanistic understanding of ion transport in polymer membranes for desalination processes. This work is inspired by water insecurity, which is a crucial, global issue at the intersection of technology, energy, and environmental justice. Coupling molecular information with measured transport properties will help to improve the efficiency of membrane materials for efficient separation applications at the water-energy nexus.
Education
B.S. Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Lafayette College, Easton, PA, 2021 (Minor in Environmental Studies)
