Speaker Bio: Katharina Tondera.
Prof. Tondera's journey into treatment wetlands and Nature-based Solutions began during her research assistantship at RWTH Aachen University in Germany. Her PhD research on micropollutant retention in treatment wetlands for combined sewer overflows set the stage for her brilliant career.
Her post-doctoral studies took her across the globe—from optimizing TW mechanisms at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Australia to research at IMT Atlantique Nantes, INRAE, and INSA Lyon in France. Since 2023, she has continued her impactful research as a professor at the engineering school ENTPE in Lyon.
In addition to her academic achievements, Prof. Tondera has been a vital force in advancing treatment wetlands and NbS through her roles in several working and specialist groups. These include the IWA Working Group on NbS for Water and Sanitation, the Specialist Group on Wetlands for Water Pollution Control, and the German DWA guideline group on wetlands for stormwater and CSO treatment. She has also contributed to various guidelines, co-edited books, and organized webinars on these critical topics.- Title: How guidelines based on field-scale experience have made combined sewer overflow treatment wetlands a success
