Philipp Kuntke

Scientific project manager

Biography

My main research interests are focused on Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Carbon,  and energy recovery technologies from (waste)water based on physical, chemical, and (bio) electrochemical separation processes.
Besides my research activities, I am involved in the writing, coordination, and project management of EU- funded projects.
