Mariane Y. Schneider
Position
Post Doctoral
Supervisor
Prof. dr. ir. Ingmar Nopens - Ghent University
Research background
I am an environmental engineer by training and got my PhD from ETH Zurich on "Monitoring and quantifying the treatment performance of on-site wastewater treatment plants" in 2020. After that I did a JSPS awarded postdoc at Tokyo University at the department of Mechanoinformatics.
Research objective
My objective is to find methods which help to monitor and control water and wastewater treatment plants in order to enable novel, resource efficient technology to spread.
Research methodology
One method is hybrid modelling (a combination of mechanistic and data-driven modelling). Another one is fundamental research starting from the equations in the mechanistic models.
