Honored to receive the 2024 NSF CAREER Award, which supports our team's research on electrochemical carbon capture processes. Special thanks to our research team and all the mentors.
#CarbonCapture
Very glad to see Abdelrahman’s recent publication on advancing polarized liquid-liquid interfaces for carbon capture featured on the front cover of ACS Electrochemistry.

Electrochemical marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) is gaining attention as an emerging engineered pathway for durable carbon removal.
In this work, we identified five U.S. coastal hubs with potential for large-scale deployment of electrochemical mCDR.

Happy to contribute to a recent piece from Nature (@NaturePortfolio), examining how researchers are using AI tools during peer review.
The article also references a small experiment I conducted: youtu.be/PnywsFUF89s

Lately, I've noticed more peer-review reports that feel unusually polished, generic, or shallow, so I ran an experiment to see how well AI can review a scientific paper.
Here is the full video: youtu.be/PnywsFUF89s?si=ySJT…
In our new paper, we explored how enzymatic depolymerization and electrocatalytic hydrodeoxygenation can work hand‑in‑hand to convert underutilized lignin into valuable aromatic compounds.

Excited to share our latest work published in Nature Communications:
A Membraneless Electrochemically Mediated Amine Regeneration for Carbon Capture
This study presents a redesigned carbon capture process that eliminates the need for membranes.

Honored to receive the 2025 Excellence in Environmental Engineering and Science® Award from AAEES! Had a great time delivering the award talk in Washington, DC.
Special thanks to my incredible research team and mentors whose support made this possible!

New electrochemical process combines CO2 capture with energy storage! Inspired by redox flow batteries, this system captures carbon using renewable power during day & releases energy to grid at night 🌞🔋♻️.

Happy to be selected as one of the recipients of the 2025 American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists (AAEES) 40 Under 40
Thanks to UH Energy for facilitating a great conversation on carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Prof. Tracy Hester provided valuable insights on leveraging the power of policy and I had the opportunity to cover the technological advancements in CDR. stories.uh.edu/magazine/maga…

Find out more about “Direct ocean capture: the emergence of electrochemical processes for oceanic carbon removal” in this #EESJournal Perspective by @MimRahimi et al. ⬇ doi.org/10.1039/D3EE01471A
Direct ocean capture (DOC) of #CO2 has been gaining momentum in recent years. In our recent paper published in EES, we highlighted the emergence of #electrochemical processes that advance DOC methods:
