Prof. Hee Jeung Oh Awarded the National Academy of Science (NAS)’s US–Africa Frontiers Fellowship.
We are delighted to share that Prof. Hee Jeung Oh is awarded the National Academy of Science (NAS)’s US – Africa Frontiers Fellowship.
The grant will provide the fellowship for our interdisciplinary research with Prof. Bridget Mutuma from the Department of Chemistry at the University of Nairobi and Prof. Omowunmi Mary Longe from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Science at the University of Johannesburg.
“The U.S.- Africa program brings together outstanding young scientists, engineers, and medical professionals from the United States and the member countries of the African Union for a series of symposia to discuss exciting advances and opportunities in their fields.”
About our work
We design and create high-performance membranes that enable unprecedented separation opportunities. We pursue fundamental breakthroughs that translate into real-world applications, always seeking to bridge the microscopic understanding of materials with macroscopic performance. Our goal is to make separations systems cleaner, stronger, and more sustainable.
About the Oh Lab
At the Oh Lab, we are dedicated to advancing the world’s most important, but challenging, separations in the environment, energy, and health sector. We do this by focusing on the molecular-to-macroscopic design and characterization of polymer membranes. We work at the intersection of chemical engineering, materials science, and molecular transport, focusing on designing advanced polymer membranes for efficient chemical separation.
