Omar K. Farha - Cancer Science

Author Information

Dr. Omar K. Farha is a prominent researcher affiliated with the Department of Chemistry and the International Institute for Nanotechnology at Northwestern University, located at 2145 Sheridan Road, Evanston, IL 60208, USA. His research interests primarily revolve around the development and application of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and other nanomaterials for various chemical and environmental applications.

Research Contributions

Dr. Farha has made substantial contributions to the field of chemistry, particularly in the development and utilization of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) for applications such as gas adsorption and separation, chemical catalysis, and the degradation of toxic chemical agents. His recent works in 2022 include studies on the catalytic degradation of mustard gas simulants, the creation of MOFs for gas adsorption, and the development of MOF/textile composites for detecting and degrading nerve agents like VX. Additionally, his research also delves into the reproducibility of surface area calculations using the BET equation and the proper selection of probe molecules for assessing the textural properties of MOFs.
