Biography
Eberhard Morgenroth holds an MS (University of California 1994), Dipl.-Ing. (Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg 1995), and PhD (Technical University of Munich 1998), all in civil and environmental engineering. After two years of postdoctoral research at the Technical University of Denmark he was a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2000 to 2009). Since 2009 he is a Professor for Process Engineering in Urban Water Management with appointments at ETH Zürich and at Eawag.
Research Interest
Eberhard Morgenroth’s research is focused on process engineering in urban water management with emphasis on: · Membranes and membrane bioreactors for water reuse: Mechanisms of soluble EPS production, aggregate structure of flocs and granules in MBR, biofilm formation and structure on membrane, combination of biological treatment with sorptive media, energy recovery in MBR. · Control of biofilms and biofilm reactors: Monitoring biofilm development in-situ in reactors and distribution systems, process development, mathematical modeling for the practitioner. · Biological drinking water treatment: Combined removal of macro and micropollutants, combined biological removal and sorption. · Decentralized wastewater treatment: Process development, monitoring and control, social and economic aspects.
