About Me

My main research focus is on new technologies for resource recovery from wastewater. My work is guided by the belief that resources can be recovered more effectively, if wastewater streams are not mixed but treated separately.

Projects

By recovering nutrients from urine, we develop a sanitation system, which produces a valuable fertiliser
We develop reactors for the separate treatment of urine, feces and water directly in the toilet.
NEST building
Sustainable urban water and wastewater management applied and implemented in the modular NEST building.
An inter- and transdisciplinary strategic research program that strives to develop novel non-gridconnected water and sani- tation systems that can function as comparable alternatives to network-based systems.
Nitrogen removal from urine with partial nitritation / anammox.
