Dr. Karim Sapag presented CEME seminar titled “Highlights in the Textural Characterization of Nanoporous Solids Through Gas Adsorption”. Dr. Sapag is a professor at National University of San Luis, Argentina. He is also a Superior Investigator at the National Council of Research in Argentina (CONICET). His research interests include studying and developing nanoporous solids for different applications usingadsorption and catalysis.

🎉 What an incredible experience at the 3rd Annual Center for Aerosol Science and Technology (CAST) Workshop! We were thrilled to welcome over 80 participants from academia, industry, and government agencies to our three-day event from January 8 to 10 at the University of Miami. Together, we explored fascinating topics like nanoparticle characterization, nanotechnology, biomass burning aerosols, and indoor air quality. A special highlight of the workshop was the hands-on demonstrations of advanced aerosol characterization techniques, showcasing cutting-edge instrumentation. A huge thank you to all our attendees for making this workshop such a success! 🙌 An extra shoutout to our keynote speakers and industry partners for their invaluable contributions, from sharing insights to providing equipment and sponsorships. Here’s to pushing the boundaries of aerosol science and technology—together! 🚀 More details of our workshop can be found at: https://lnkd.in/ehkRkBf9 University of Miami Department of Chemical, Environmental & Materials Engineering University of Miami College of Engineering

CEME faculty members Chang-Yu Wu, Dibyendu Mukherjee, and Pratim Biswas spoke at the Nanomaterials Workshop at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar . The workshop highlighted topics including functional nanoparticle synthesis, health effects of nanomaterials, and the fundamentals of nanoparticles.
