Edward Kimani
PhD Researcher
Biography
I am an Environmental Engineer with specialization in membrane processes for advanced water treatment. My research project focuses on reverse osmosis membranes and related processes, from fundamental mass transport modeling (including physical-chemical descriptions) to experimental investigations for model validations.
