Dr. Ranil Wickramasinghe

Synthetic membrane-based separation processes for purification of pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals, treatment and reuse of water and for the production of biofuels

 A current research focus is surface modification of membranes in order to impart unique surface properties.  His group is actively developing responsive membranes.  These membranes change their physical properties in response to changed environmental conditions.  Typical unit operations for these membrane materials include microfiltration, ultrafiltration, virus filtration, nanofiltration, membrane extraction etc.
