My work is focused on developing sustainable and circular solutions for the biological treatment of organic materials at RISE. As Head of Unit for Environmental Engineering 1, I lead a team with deep expertise in anaerobic and aerobic biological treatment and its applications within biogas production, wastewater treatment, nutrient recycling, and industrial side streams. Together, we carry out both standardised and advanced testing, ranging from well-established laboratory methods to more research-oriented and tailor-made experimental setups.
Within the unit, we work with anaerobic digestion trials at laboratory and pilot scale, biodegradability of materials and chemicals, as well as measurement and analysis of gas emissions from various biological systems. We collaborate closely with industry, municipalities, and other stakeholders to develop solutions that work in practice and contribute to improved resource efficiency and reduced environmental impact.
What drives me and characterises our entire work is the ambition to transform residues and side streams into resources that create societal value. I am passionate about understanding microbial processes and making them as efficient as possible, as well as testing and developing ideas through practical experimentation. Whether this involves wastewater, manure, industrial residual flows, or new materials intended for use in biological treatment systems.
