Research Statement

Professor Landskron’s current research is currently focused on carbon dioxide separation using supercapacitors. This encompasses new electrode materials synthesis, electrochemistry and electrochemical engineering, process design, adsorption kinetics, and mechanistic investigations.

Biography

Professor Landskron began his career as inorganic solid state chemist as a PhD student at LMU Munich developing a high pressure synthesis for nitridophosphates. After his graduation in 2001 he moved to University of Toronto as a post-doc working on periodic mesoporous organosilicas. In 2006 he joined Lehigh University as assistant professor. He was promoted to associate professor in 2012, and to full professor in 2018. His research work encompasses the synthesis of mesoporous materials at high pressure, and carbon dioxide separations using supercapacitors (supercapacitive swing adsorption).
