Prof. Shlomo Nir
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem ISRAELBiography
Professor Nir from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, along with his colleagues from the Instituto de Recursos Naturales y Agrobiologia, developed a model to simulate and predict how well this process works. “By combining natural breakdown processes with filtration and modeling, we can create a system that continuously removes pollutants, making water purification much more efficient, and amenable for planing ” explained Professor Nir. Their approach offers an improvement over existing methods.
