Biography
After her graduation at Wageningen University in 1997, Dr. Merle de Kreuk worked for 3 years in industry, at IHC Holland as consultant and researcher. Projects ranged from the dewatering of tunneling fluids to diamond mining projects. Her main project was the development of an innovative technology for separation of contaminated soil and the clean sand fraction. This so called jig-technology was later applied in many soil remediation projects. She returned to academics for a PhD project at the department of Biotechnology in the group of Professor Mark van Loosdrecht (TU Delft)
