RESEARCH
Green walls
We are studying and implementing a nature based-solution for the treatment of greywater (wastewater from sinks, showers, and appliances) using green walls.

DEVICES
Environmental sensors
We are designing sensor chips based on Raman or on small cantilevers for fast quantification of specific contaminants and for detection of trace contaminants, respectively.
