Innovations in Water Reuse

Empowering Industry Podcast - A Production of Empowering Pumps & Equipment

Another double whamy as Charli has two guests this week! Iman Eldib, a graduate student at the Colorado School of Mines, and Dr. Tzahi Cath, a Professor at the School of Mines, join Charli this week on the pod.
Iman holds a B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering and currently pursuing a master’s degree in environmental engineering from Colorado School of Mines, working with Prof. Tzahi Cath. Before enrolling in grad school in Fall 2023, I worked for three years in water and wastewater treatment in Saudi Arabia. My current research focuses on advanced water treatment and reverse osmosis systems, seeking energy-efficient and sustainable treatment methods. I am passionate about environmental sustainability and empowering women in engineering, having been the first female engineer in my previous company in Saudi Arabia, and last March, I received Mine’s Women in Science, Engineering and Mathematics (WISEM)’s Sister-to-Sister Scholarship Fund.
Dr. Cath is a professor of environmental engineering at the Colorado School of Mines. His main field of research is membrane and biological processes for wastewater treatment, desalination of saline and hypersaline brines, reclamation of impaired water for potable reuse, and energy from water and wastewater. Dr. Cath is a PI on many research projects focusing on the integration of membrane processes in seawater and brackish water desalination, and in domestic and industrial wastewater treatment (including oil & gas wastewater). Additional research focus is on advanced data-driven control system for early detection of system failure, techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment of water-energy systems, and decision support tools to select efficient and low energy treatment technologies for a broad range of water and wastewater applications. Prof. Cath is the director of the Advanced Water Technology Center (AQWATEC) and the co-director of the WE2ST Center at Mines. He also holds a joint appointment at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
