The Clark Chem Lab uses applied mathematics and data science, combined with atomistic simulations, to learn the complex correlations in non-ideal solutions and their interfaces.
The Clark Chem Lab was the first to create a classification system for the mechanisms of solute transport across oil/water phase boundaries in liquid/liquid extraction separations systems.
Students in the Clark Chem Lab learn how the shape of data can be elucidated through applied mathematics, to reveal new insight into chemical systems.
The Clark Chem Lab employs subensemble analysis to evaluate how chemical species and local environments affect experimental observables like X-ray and neutron pair distribution functions.
Concentration greatly affects salt solutions, impacting electronic waste recycling and members of the Clark Chem Lab are helping offer opportunities for new battery materials in energy applications.
Limiting Industrial Waste and Pollution: The Clark Chem Lab studies chemical solutions in industrial processing to improve separation systems, reducing waste and pollution risks.
