 sions feature amazing guest speakers\, from academic trailblazers and indu
 stry movers to our very own faculty candidates showing off their expertise
  and fresh perspectives.\nCome for the treats\, stay for the engaging disc
 ussions\, and connect with fellow MAE enthusiasts. Everyone is welcome!\n 
 \nNanoscale Mass Transport in 2D and 1D Nanomaterials for Energy\, Environ
 ment and Healthcare\n\nFeb 27\, 2025\, at 12:50pm\, Location: MAE-A 303\n\
 nDr. Piran Ravichandran Kidambi\nHarrington Faculty Fellow at the Universi
 ty of Texas\, Austin\nAssistant Professor\, Chemical and Biomolecular Engi
 neering\, Mechanical Engineering at Vanderbilt University\n\nAbstract\n2D 
 and 1D nanomaterials offer fundamentally new opportunities to study\, unde
 rstand and control mass transport at the sub-nanometer-scale. Specifically
 \, they allow for quantum tunneling and size-selective ionic/molecular tra
 nsport/sieving. I will discuss our recent work in 2D material synthesis an
 d processing to enable i) large-area atomically thin Helium barriers\, ii)
  fully functional nanoporous atomically thin membranes for desalination\, 
 dialysis\, and molecular separations\, iii) bottom-up formation of nanopor
 es in 2D lattices\, iv) new approaches to probe sub-nanometer scale defect
 s in centimeter scale 2D-single-crystals\, v) size-selective defect sealin
 g for functional large-area 2D membranes\, vi) roll-to-roll manufacturing 
 of atomically thin membranes\, and vii) proton transport through atomicall
 y thin membranes for advancing energy conversion/storage and security. Fin
 ally\, I will discuss transport in 1D nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes) for
  hemodialysis as well as some of our efforts to move these technologies to
  the commercial arena.\n\nBiography\nPiran R. Kidambi is a Harrington Facu
 lty Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin and Assistant Professor at
  the Departments of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Mechanical E
 ngineering\, Vanderbilt University (on-leave). After receiving his PhD fro
 m the University of Cambridge\, he pursued postdoctoral research at MIT th
 rough a Lindemann Trust Fellowship. Kidambi's research leverages the inter
 section between (i) nanomaterial synthesis\, (ii) process engineering\, an
 d (iii) in situ metrology\, to enable bottom-up materials design and synth
 esis for energy\, separations\, and healthcare applications. His research 
 has been recognized via several awards and honors including ASME Rising St
 ar (2024)\, 2024 Donald D. Harrington Faculty Fellowship at UT Austin\, AI
 ChE NSEF Young Investigator (2023)\, DOE Early Career Award (2022)\, ACS P
 MSE Young Investigator (2022)\, NSF CAREER (2020)\, ECS Toyota Young Inves
 tigator (2020)\, and Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Award (2018)\, among oth
 ers.\n\nMAE Faculty Host: Ghatu Subhash
