Sousa Javannikkhah

Sousa Javannikkhah is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Sciences at the University of Limerick and a researcher at SSPC - the Science Foundation Ireland Research Centre for Pharmaceuticals. Their work develops advanced materials for gas separation, with emphasis on carbon dioxide capture and acetylene purification in pharmaceutical and industrial contexts.

Research interests span materials science, polymer chemistry, and porous materials engineering. Key areas include block copolymers, graphene, self-assembly, and crystal engineering. This research addresses global sustainability challenges through innovative material design for carbon capture, clean energy, and pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.

Analysis of recent publications reveals a dominant trend toward ultramicroporous polymers and coordination networks for selective gas separation, particularly acetylene/carbon dioxide systems. The research integrates computational modeling with experimental synthesis to explore structure-property relationships, surface phenomena, and transient porosity effects in next-generation separation materials.
