I am working as a researcher and lecturer at the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN). I am lecturing 'Water Treatment and Environmental Biotechnology' for master program in Energy and Environmental Technology. My national and international research projects mainly focuses on biological treatment of wastewater and water contaminants as well as recovery of resources from wastewater (as clean water, energy and fertilizer).
