About

Stadtherr’s research focuses on the formulation and solution of modeling and optimization problems that arise in the development of sustainable, energy-efficient and environmentally-conscious processing technology. One interest is the use of room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs) as environmentally-benign replacements for traditional organic solvents, with applications in aromatic/aliphatic separations and in CO2 capture. They are also interested in the assessment of new technology for exploiting light alkane resources, specifically natural gas liquids (NGLs), that are increasingly available due to shale gas production.
