I am Professor of Environmental
Microbiology.
The central tenet in all we do is Microbial Resource
Management and Engineering: the bridge between
environmental engineering and microbial ecology.
My research group uses both advanced experimental (microscopic,
molecular, - omic) tools as well as computational (agent and
continuum models) approaches to study fundamental and applied
microbial ecological questions, with a focus on mixed microbial
communities within environmental engineering application.
This translates in an seemingly wide range of research topics: new
biotechnological processes for water purification and used water
treatment; the engineered nitrogen cycle: applications and
fundamentals with focus on autotrophic processes, laughing gas,
anammox processes; link between community dynamics and system
performance and stability; bacterial adhesion & biofilm
formation; bioelectrochemical systems, horizontal gene
transfer in microbial communities and the fate of ARGs;
mathematical modelling of microbial processes and interactions; new
biofilm/bioaggregate based reactors; the new wastewater management
paradigm.
I coordinate the METLab (http://metlab.rt.env.dtu.dk/
) research team and the Microbial Ecology Research
Group (http://www.env.dtu.dk/Forskning.aspx).
