In het kader van de internationale dag van de #ruimtevaart gingen we langs bij FWO-er Marijn Timmer (UAntwerpen). Hoe zorg je ervoor dat er voldoende lucht aanwezig is in een raket? 🚀 Daar vertelt Marijn je alles over in het Kennismakers Magazine Magazine 👉🏽kennismakers.be/dag-van-de-rui…

Was fun introducing school kids in #Zemst to the #CircleOfLife in #Space and on Earth, aka #ResourceRecovery and #cleantech to produce sustainable #food, #water and #air. Big thanks to Marijn Timmer and Jolien De Paepe. #SciComm #PlasGasFabriek MELiSSA Space Research Program #CircularEconomy

🚨Vacancy alert🚨 Our department is hiring a #PhDCandidate to carry out life cycle assessments #LCA. Apply via lnkd.in/guhq8sPQ #PhD #job #student

#CAPTUREWater business platform day, 80(!) people from industry and academia to learn and discuss water issues #TogetherWeBecomeCircular

#microbes, what else? Microbial technology is essential for life support systems during long-haul spaceflight. #Microbiomes4Life #WorldMicrobiomeDay

The amazing possibilities of working with microorganisms highlighted on #WorldMicrobiomeDay Proud of my reactor for #urine treatment in #Space with #bacteria In the picture: evolution of our Partial Nitritation/ Anammox membrane bundle over a timespan of 200 days.

Thank you Canvascrack for making our project Isala a question in your television quiz Bioscience Engineering@University of Antwerp Microbial Systems Technology 😀.

Check out the program for NSABS upcoming Friday (8/7/2022) in Antwerp: uantwerpen.be/en/conferences… We look forward to this symposium in person!

💧 zal wel uit de kraan blijven komen, maar dit 👇 kan verregaande gevolgen hebben... geen grondstoffen = geen productie = schaarsere producten = ... Rijn in Duitsland dreigt vanaf vrijdag onbevaarbaar te worden (en dat zou ook voor ons een probleem zijn) vrtnws.be/p.vL5OlodGl

We had a great visit to see some #fullscale #wastewatertreatment action at de #NieuweDokken in Ghent! Great tour, #DuCoop! We were able to take some sludge home, so now off to the lab to build our own reactor for #resource-efficient #decentralized #greywater treatment!♻️💧⚡️

Please RT: #AcademicTeaching position on #sustainable management of #UrbanResources #energy, #water, #food and #materials! Join us to launch a new #MSc programme on #BioScienceEngineering for #SustainableCities at UAntwerpen, UGent and KU Leuven uantwerpen.be/en/jobs/vacanc…

Want to teach our future #MSc students about #UrbanResources #water, #energy, #food and #materials, and #SustainableCities, #ProteinTransition, #WaterTechnology, #RenewableEnergy? Final days to apply for this position in our new programme on #BioScienceEngineering!

Nice interactions at the #BMGmembranesymposium! Happy to have presented my first #poster together with my masterstudent Iris about our new #membrane reactor for decentralized #wastewatertreatment!

Had a blast at the #MELiSSA conference about #lifesupport in #space . Tim and me presented our solution for #gaslosses from space-vehicles; to #bioregenerate (N2)-gas from #urine. Pleasure to meet so many experts, new faces and interesting reseach! Thanks MELiSSA Space Research Program

#OneLove for everyone, even for micro-organisms. Credits to Marijn Timmer and Siegfried Vlaeminck for making this beautiful picture, and to all the numerous #wastewater #treatment #bacteria posing. #bacteria #art #scienceart

Whoohooo! Isabel won the innovation award for best master thesis around water research for her work in my #space project about urine recycling! I am a very proud supervisor! :-) #nitrogenisor #Academiameetsindustry #IWA #watercircle

Want to be part of this amazing team? We're #hiring: two fully funded #PhD positions on the #PurpleBacteria #biotechnology project #Redoxome. #TwinPhDs, one student based at UAntwerpen, and one at @umons. uantwerpen.be/en/jobs/vacanc…

A partial nitritation/#anammox-membrane-aerated #biofilm reactor (PN/A-MABR) for decentralized urine treatment efficiently removes nitrogen from source-separated urine.
