Welcome to COSMOS!

COSMOS (Computational Simulations of MOFs for Gas Separations) is an ERC-2017-Starting Grant. ERC grantee is Prof. Seda Keskin Avci at Koc University. The main objective of COSMOS is to obtain the fundamental, atomic-level insights into the CO2 separation performances of metal organic frameworks (MOFs). This webpage is designed to share the results of COSMOS.

This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No. 756489).
