Porous Materials Theory and Its Application for Environmental Remediation

Juan Carlos Moreno-Piraján  is a Full Professor of Chemistry at the Universidad de Los Andes (Colombia), where he is the Director of the Porous Solids and Calorimetry Research Group. He works in the areas of thermodynamics, porous materials, particularly nano-materials, special materials such as MOFs, mathematical modeling and design, construction, and application of calorimeters to the characterization of materials.

Liliana Giraldo  is a Professor at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia and Director of the Calorimetry Research Group. She works in porous materials, particularly with nanomaterials, special materials such as MOFs, modeling, design, and applying calorimeters to the characterization of materials and thermodynamic studies of interactions solute-solute, solute-solvent, and adsorbate-adsorbent.  Dr. Fernando Gómez-Granados  is an Associate Professor for analytical chemistry in the Department of Chemistry at the Universidad Nacionalde Colombia. His research interest is focused on the study of adsorption processes of different analytes with activated carbon prepared, characterized, and modified from carbon materials.
