Hi, I’m Irene and my work focuses on making water safe to drink. I am proactive in coming up with new ways to remove viruses, bacteria and nasty chemicals from water. I test bubbles, ozone and different cleaning fluids – things often don’t work first time but I am determined to succeed and like to solve problems. I love engineering as I can help create a better world.
