Silvana Quiton

Marie Sklodowska-Curie research fellow

I obtained my MSc in Environmental Sciences with a major on Environmental Technology from Wageningen University & Research Center (The Netherlands), where I developed my MSc Thesis within the micropollutants research group analyzing the impact of biocides on biodegradation in constructed wetlands. Later, I did a 6-month research internship at IHE-Delft Water Institute (The Netherlands) where I worked in the development of a new biological wastewater treatment technology using photobioreactors with different Algae and Anammox bacteria.
As for my professional experience, I have worked as an environmental specialist and technical consultant in both private and public institutions in Bolivia in the operation and optimization of wastewater treatment plants for different streams (for industrial and domestic wastewater).
