ﾃ］gela has worked as researcher since 2016 in the European Project H2020 WATERSPOUTT in Rey Juan Carlos University simulating solar water disinfection. In this frame, she developed her Master thesis.
Nowadays Angela is still working in URJC doing a PhD with a FPU contract, in the WATERSPOUTT project, developing a predictive kinetic model of the solar water disinfection (SODIS) process for African remote regions.

PANIWATER is developing six technologies for water treatment suitable for the removal of CECs. The overall goal is to increase the availability of safe drinking water to the minimum level recommended by the WHO (at least 7.5 L/person/day) in the target communities, and to obtain total wastewater treatment capacity of at least 10000L /day, producing irrigation-grade, CEC-free, treated water

WATERSPOUTT aims at providing safe drinking water to communities who rely on unsafe sources. The consortium is carrying out a technological development programme to advance three applications based on Solar Disinfection (SODIS), which can make water safe to drink after it has been collected. In parallel, a social science programme has been structured to make sure that the technologies are adopted by the target communities in rural Africa, with the support of the local authorities and in an economically sustainable way.
