<p dir="ltr">In this presentation, I have given an overview of my PhD research as a part of the VYT2025 competition. Briefly, my research focuses on evaluating and improving fluoride removal from groundwater in India. I investigated the performance of community-based water purification plants, conducted batch and column adsorption studies under varying conditions, and analyzed water chemistry to understand factors affecting fluoride removal. These data will help train a machine learning-based model to predict the best technology for a particular location.</p>
