Slav W. Hermanowicz

Slav W. Hermanowicz is a Professor of the Graduate School in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. His research interests include biological water and wastewater treatment processes, biofilms and their development, analysis of full-scale treatment reactors, nutrient control, and sustainable development. Hermanowicz also explores metrics of sustainable development with applications for engineering decision-making and water reuse. His work involves international projects and collaborations, including roles as a program honorary visiting professor at Tongji University in Shanghai and a Visiting Fellow at the Institute of Advanced Study for the Technical University of Munich.

Slav (Slawomir) W. Hermanowicz is a Professor of Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, specializing in environmental technology, water, wastewater, water reuse, sustainability, and entrepreneurship. His research focuses on advanced wastewater treatment processes, including membrane bioreactors, biofilm dynamics, and microbial community structures. He investigates the impact of operational parameters such as organic loading, solids retention time, and aeration intensity on process performance and membrane fouling. His work also explores chemical and biological mechanisms for nutrient removal, phosphate removal, and the treatment of food waste recycling wastewater. Hermanowicz's research contributes to sustainable water reuse strategies and innovative approaches for improving wastewater treatment efficiency.
