In this episode learn more about environmental engineering from Dr. Silvia Venditti, an expert in nature-based solutions for water treatment. With a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Imperial College London, Silvia is currently working at the University of Luxembourg, focusing on the removal of micropollutants from wastewater.Silvia explains how nature-based solutions mimic natural processes to restore ecosystems, offering low-cost, resilient alternatives to traditional high-tech methods. Discover the challenges and innovations in using constructed wetlands to tackle micropollutants and the potential for creating valuable resources from waste.Silvia also shares insights into her projects aiming to integrate nature-based solutions in urban areas and address stormwater runoff.USEFUL LINKSSilvia Venditti's research - https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Silvia-VendittiMore about nature-based solutions - https://research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/research-area/environment/nature-based-solutions_enEmiSûre project - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duH7tUYrXB8Constructed wetlands - FNR Highlights: https://www.fnr.lu/research-with-impact-fnr-highlight/spotlight-on-young-researchers-constructed-wetlands-a-new-approach-to-treating-wastewater/Amazing Polish book about water - https://wydawnictwopoznanskie.pl/produkt/woda-historia-pewnego-porwania-seria-reporterska-wydawnictwa-poznanskiego/Support the show
