Mostapha is selected as a 2022 Schmidt Science Fellow!

Schmidt Futures is a philanthropic initiative, founded by Eric and Wendy Schmidt, that “finds exceptional people and helps them do more for others together.” It builds networks of talent to work on solving some of the world’s toughest scientific and social problems. The Fellows are expected to pursue research that “pivots” from the focus of their PhD, thereby expanding their potential as future scientific leaders.

During his PhD, Mostapha’s research tackled the amount of energy and resources wasted in separating chemicals in industrial processes by developing next generation membranes to replace current energy-hungry techniques. As a Schmidt Science Fellow, he plans to pivot from engineering to chemistry to understand molecular motion at an angstrom scale to be able to benefit people’s lives at the everyday scale by lowering commodities cost production.
