I am Professor of Environmental Microbiology. 

The central tenet in all we do is Microbial Resource Management and Engineering: the bridge between environmental engineering and microbial ecology.

My research group uses both advanced experimental (microscopic, molecular, - omic) tools as well as computational (agent and continuum models) approaches to study fundamental and applied microbial ecological questions, with a focus on mixed microbial communities within environmental engineering application.

This translates in an seemingly wide range of research topics: new biotechnological processes for water purification and used water treatment; the engineered nitrogen cycle: applications and fundamentals with focus on autotrophic processes, laughing gas, anammox processes; link between community dynamics and system performance and stability; bacterial adhesion & biofilm formation; bioelectrochemical systems, horizontal gene transfer in microbial communities and the fate of ARGs; mathematical modelling of microbial processes and interactions; new biofilm/bioaggregate based reactors; the new wastewater management paradigm.

I coordinate the METLab (http://metlab.rt.env.dtu.dk/ ) research team and the Microbial Ecology Research Group (http://www.env.dtu.dk/Forskning.aspx). My official webpage is here:www.staff.dtu.dk/bfsm .
