I am a professor in Environmental Engineering with a PhD in Microbiology. My research is mainly focused on environmental engineering, water treatment, vertical farming, renewable energy sources, and circular economy. My research is related to our resources and how we can work towards a circular economy. I have studied how we can develop more efficient wastewater treatment processes and how we can recover the nutrients that are present in the water. I have studied how we can recirculate organic waste products to arable land, in order to reduce the need for artificial fertilizers. Another exiting area of research relates to vertical farming and how we can use cameras and sensors to monitor crop growth. By doing this we can optimize fertilization as well as irrigation.
