Advanced Separation and Purification (ASeP) Laboratory
We are a separation science research group within the Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Wyoming.
We focus on developing energy-efficient and economically viable separation technologies to address real-world challenges. Our goal is to benefit society and the environment by accelerating the transition to clean energy, minimizing environmental impacts, and advancing the frontiers of life sciences.
Figure 1: Research Vision and Core Technology Cycle of the ASeP Lab Our research integrates four interconnected pillars to drive innovation in sustainable separation science: Materials (target-selective molecular and system design), Modeling (physics-informed process optimization and digital twins), Experiments (robust, scalable continuous chromatography and separation platforms), and Circularity (valorization of renewable resources and closed-loop critical mineral recovery).
