Graphene is a wonder material with many superlatives to its name. It is the thinnest known material in the universe and the strongest ever measured. Graphene can sustain current densities six orders of magnitude higher than that of copper, shows record thermal conductivity and stiffness, and is impermeable to gases. All of its exceptional properties have opened up new avenues for the use of graphene in several applications.

In my talk, I will present recent trends in graphene research and applications, especially the use of graphene in separation and filtration technologies.
