Position
Researcher
Sylwin Pawlowski holds a PhD degree in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering from Universidade NOVA de Lisboa (2015). After working at The University of Edinburgh (Scotland/UK), currently he is Assistant Researcher (obtained at Individual Call to Scientific Employment Stimulus) at the Laboratory of Membrane Processes (LMP). His research activities concern experimental, modelling and theoretical work in the field of membranes and electromembrane processes. His main areas of interest are recovery of lithium from saline streams, sustainable power generation by reverse electrodialysis, membrane profiling, membrane fouling, flow capacitive deionization, 3D printing, electrospinning, mass transfer phenomena and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
