Indian Origin Student Awarded Scholarship For Water Treatment Research

Indian Origin Student Awarded Scholarship For Water Treatment Research

 The American Membrane Technology Association (AMTA) and the US Bureau of Reclamation have awarded a PhD student who is Indian-American a fellowship in recognition of their cutting-edge and creative work in the field of advanced treatment of alternate water sources.

The AMTA announced that Harsh Patel, a PhD candidate in chemical engineering and Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Michigan, was one of the four recipients of the USD 11,750 fellowship.

According to the statement, Mr. Patel's study aims to create new membranes with a minimal water content that can remove specific ions with precision in order to address escalating water and energy demands.

Membrane technology advancements have the potential to significantly lower the cost, energy, and environmental impact of improved treatment of recycled wastewater and seawater, providing clean, safe, abundant, and economically advantageous water sources in arid places.

Knowing that effective work in this field will directly affect global issues like water scarcity, Mr. Patel expressed his immense happiness at receiving the honor.

In 2021, Mr. Patel graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. He is now a member of Michigan's Kamcev Lab, which is working to create the next generation of polymeric materials for use in energy production and storage as well as water treatment.

He will be in Knoxville in February for the 2023 Membrane Technology Conference and Exposition, where he plans to discuss his study orally or on a poster.

For graduate students pursuing a full-time Master's degree or a PhD student working on research into the developments required to pursue innovation in membrane technologies, the AMTA and Reclamation Fellowships jointly provide four scholarships each year.

Netanyahu’s Shocking Gaza Plan: ‘We Will Take Control of ALL of Gaza’ — But At What Cost?

  As Israeli forces intensify their offensive, Netanyahu vows total control of Gaza — but the humanitarian crisis is reaching a breaking point. Will the world stand by and watch?

But as international pressure mounts, his government is walking a tightrope between military dominance and global condemnation. The Israeli military has ordered mass evacuations in southern Gaza, warning residents of Khan Yunis and surrounding areas to flee immediately ahead of a devastating assault. Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee described the coming attack as ...

The Ideological Foundations The Brotherhood bases its ideology upon the teachings of Hassan al-Banna and Sayyid Qutb. Extremist groups obtain their core beliefs from the writings specifically authored by Qutb. The Brotherhood's concept of jihad for creating an Islamic state has directly inspired al-Qaeda and ISIS to establish their extremist agendas thus creating a direct link between those groups and the movement. Historical Links to Extremism Over and above its philosophical standards The Brotherhood maintains extensive power. Notably: Al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden developed extremist beliefs because he learned Brotherhood religious doctrine in his early...
