Research Interests

Dr. Kennedy researches the relationship between microporous materials and adsorption applied to the separation and purification of complex mixtures, his research interests are directed towards the following areas:

  • Adsorption equilibrium and diffusion characterization and modelling.
  • Adsorbent material synthesis and modification.
  • Fundamentals of chromatography.
  • Separation Processes - adsorptive and membrane based separations.

Applications of Dr. Kennedy’s research areas include such as carbon capture, air pollution emissions control, separation and purification of trace hazardous compounds, renewable energy (biogas / renewable natural gas), and environmental engineering.
