Doctoral student in PFAS treatment and destruction technologies

PFAS pollution is a slow-moving environmental crisis. These highly persistent chemicals continuously contaminate water resources, ecosystems and food webs, while current treatment technologies often transfer PFAS between waste streams rather than eliminate them. Join us at Chalmers to develop a treatment train where PFAS are first concentrated from complex water matrices and subsequently destroyed using catalytic and photocatalytic approaches, supported by advanced analytical verification methods. The research is conducted in close collaboration with IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, Örebro University and municipal wastewater treatment plants.
