Nano Mechanics & Fluids

PhD: Ben-Gurion University, Department of Chemical Engineering, 1999
MSc: Mendeleyev Institute of Chemical Technology, Moscow, 1988

Nano Main Field:
Today's membranes are extremely thin and have a complex nanostructure. The methods of nanotechnology, in particular, development and characterization of nanomaterials and nanoscale molecular interactions are of direct relevance to our research and help unravel separation mechanisms and develop new-generation membranes.
