Associate Professor

  • Department of Building and Environmental Technology

I am an Associate Professor in the Water and Environmental Engineering Group at the Faculty of Science and Technology (RealTek).
I hold a PhD in Environmental Sciences from both Wageningen University (NL) and the University of Copenhagen (DK).

My research activities within the Resource Recovery Research Group focuses on:

- Wastewater/bio-waste management technologies for circular bioeconomy
- Nutrient recovery and biobased fertilizers from organic waste
- Biochar technologies
- Biogas technology and bioelectrochemical methods
- Contaminants of emerging concern (PFAS, PPCPs) in wastewater and sewage sludge

My research in resource recovery lies in the essence of sustainable practices for resources and bio-waste management, which are some key elements for achieving a circular economy and UN Sustainable Development Goals.
