Congratulations to Dr. Kacie Nimito for defending her PhD thesis!

Her dissertation, “Moisture-Swing Direct Air Capture: Sorbent Design, Experimental Evaluation, and Kinetic Model Validation,” combined sorbent synthesis, characterization, and process modeling to improve the performance of direct air capture systems.

Kacie’s work, co-chaired by Prof. Klaus Lackner and Prof. Matthew D. Green, represents an important step forward in the development of scalable and effective carbon removal technologies.

We are so proud of Kacie’s accomplishments and can’t wait to see the impact of her future contributions. Congratulations, Dr. Nimito! 🎉
