AVNER RONEN
Senior Academic
What our team does?
Dr. Ronen’s research is in the area of water-energy-health nexus. Specifically, the research in his group involves
(i) Membrane-based processes for energy-efficient desalination and wastewater reuse including membrane distillation and electrically conducting membranes
(ii) Removal and assessment of micropollutants, heavy metals and rare earth metal, and
(iii) Recovery of resources (ammonia, phosphate) from waste streams by membranes.
