Past Biomimicry Fellow

Sebastian, from Germany, investigated wastewater desalination and purification inspired by biological processes, such as active trans-membrane water transport by aquaporin protein channels.

slide-37
SLIDE 37

Past Biomimicry Fellow

Sebastian’s new project: Develop a process, using aquaporins, to reabsorb the water of the urine of the cavers into a drinkable sugar draw solution in

  • rder to cut the weight and volume of

the urine the cavers excrete over long duration cave explorations.
