Research projects:

• Validation and optimization of fine-bubble aeration systems in dependency of the water temperature (Joint Project entitled “Technology transfer-oriented research and development in the wastewater sector – validation at industrial-scale plants” (EXPOVAL), Subgroup 2 – Aeration technology)
• Basic examination of dependencies of the oxygen transfer on biological activity of activated sewage sludge under consideration of new cumulative and individual parameters (Fritz and Margot Faudi foundation)

Research interests:

• Aeration systems
• Biological wastewater treatment

Teachings:

• Planning, construction and operation of wastewater treatment plants
• Seminar and practical course in “Wassergütetechnik” (Water Quality Control and Technology)
• Seminar “Biologische Abwasserreinigung“ (biological wastewater treatment)

Other activities:

• Standard oxygen transfer test
