Abolhasani Lab

Lab of the Future

Welcome to the Abolhasani Lab

Our multidisciplinary research group is primarily focused on studies of autonomous flow chemistry strategies to accelerate the discovery, development, and manufacturing of advanced materials and molecules. We envision such self-driving fluidic labs can accelerate our efforts towards addressing the most pervasive challenge of the modern world: Meeting a rapidly growing global energy demand while preserving the environment. To meet these goals, we study the fundamentals of process intensification using microreaction engineering concepts and principles of “smart” manufacturing.
