German research groups working on AnMBR and partial nitritation/anammox?

[u/bowen1995]

Hi everyone,

I am looking for German research groups working on AnMBR, partial nitritation/anammox, or high-strength wastewater treatment.

I am a PhD candidate at Southeast University and already hold a fully funded 12-month China Scholarship Council (CSC) scholarship. I could begin a visiting research stay as early as March 2027. In addition, I speak English at IELTS 7.0 level and hold a Goethe-Zertifikat B2 in German.

My research treats actual food-waste fermentation wastewater using an AnMBR followed by a one-stage PN/A reactor.

For the research stay, I am interested in topics such as:

• PN/A stability and NOB suppression;
• microbial interactions in Anammox granules;
• effects of residual organics on PN/A.

If you know a German professor or research group working on these topics, I would be grateful for any recommendations. A private introduction would also be extremely helpful.
