MSc Sustainable Development

Department Sanitation, Water and Solid Waste for Development

About Me

I specialise in sanitation and wastewater management solutions for developing contexts.

My main research interest centres interdisciplinary research on water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in institutional settings (health care, schools, public, community and shared sanitation); urban infrastructure delivery in informal settlements; sustainable operation and maintenance of WASH delivery services combined with information technology management as well as closed-loop urban (waste)water treatment and reuse systems.

I am interested in contributing to bridging the science-policy gap by generating evidence-based knowledge that allows informed-decision making. This includes the development of application-oriented knowledge products and training materials for practitioners who are dealing with challenging public health contexts around the globe. I have a BA in Contemporary History and Philosophy and an interdisciplinary MSc in Sustainable Development with a focus on social sciences.

I am a member of the Strategic Environmental Sanitation Planning Group at Sandec since 2017.

Projects

FACET is an online/offline mobile tool to collect data on water, sanitation and hygiene conditions (WASH) in schools and health care facilities.
Identifying criteria to determine when a shared toilet can be considered of high quality in terms of user acceptability, impact on wellbeing and other potential quality indicators.
ConCaD will build capacity of private sector consulting firms and individual consultants to plan and design urban sanitation services.
The Lighthouse Project focuses on visible examples of onsite and decentralised urban water management systems, which will play a key role in enabling sustainability transitions.
