Manipulating Porous Matter
We are pleased to welcome a new postdoc to the Ameloot group! Nicolas received his Ph.D. at Aix-Marseille University in France with his thesis entitled ‘Using external parameters to improve gas adsorption in nanoporous materials: control of humidity and mechanical pressure.’ After finishing his Ph.D., he held a postdoctoral associate position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, working on gas diffusion in disordered nanoporous materials and developing electrically-conductive cement for energy storage applications.
In the Ameloot group, he'll mainly study the diffusion of vapors in MOFs and work on combining adsorption and NMR measurements to unravel insights regarding their adsorption mechanisms.
A warm welcome to Nicolas!
