Amit joined Elimelech’s group as a postdoctoral fellow in January 2024. Here, he plans to broaden his research fields of interest. To do so, he will explore and describe the partition and transport of ions through membranes, to achieve electrochemical ion-ion selective separations.

Amit earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, located in Haifa, Israel. In his graduate studies, Amit explored and developed a mathematical and numerical framework used to describe ion transport and electrosorption in membrane-less capacitive deionization systems, under the guidance of Dr. Matthew Suss. The theoretical framework was utilized to investigate different applications with high environmental impacts, including chemical-free recycling of irrigation water and more efficient boron removal as a complementary stage to seawater desalination.

Outside of research, Amit is an enthusiastic soccer fan, and he likes reading books, running, and playing the Trombone, and is a coffee and beer lover.
