Proud supervisor moment! 🎓
I am proud to announce that Aron has successfully defended his PhD thesis! Watching his growth over the years has been great as a supervisor. His thesis titled Data-driven and Multiscale Systems Design of Sustainable Nanofiltration Processes, is a significant step forward for the digitalization of the field of membranes. By integrating data science with multiscale modeling, he has developed innovative ways to make challenging molecular separations significantly more energy-efficient in a wide range of industrial domains.
One of the most unique aspects of this defense was its diversity—not just in thought, but in geography. With committee members spanning three different time zones, this was a truly international collaboration. My sincere thanks to Profs Suzana Nunes and Carlos Grande from KAUST, and Gonzalo Guillén-Gosálbez from ETH Zurich for their invaluable insights and for coordinating across borders to make this defense such a success.
I can’t wait to see the impact Aron continues to make on the world stage.
