He is Professor of Aquatic Ecology at ETH Zurich and a member of the Directorate and the Advisory Board of the ETH Zurich Genetic Diversity Centre. Tove Larsen Group Leader SWW Tove Larsen, a chemical engineer, works on sustainable urban water management. Her research focuses on technologies for source separation and on-site wastewater treatment. For example, she led the award-winning Blue Diversion project (development of a grid-free urine-diverting toilet). She is Adjunct Professor at the Technical University of Denmark and a member of the Advisory Boards of the FHNW School of Life Sciences and the ZHAW School of Life Sciences and Facility Management. Carsten Schubert Group Leader Surf Carsten Schubert, a geologist, conducts research on organic geochemistry and isotope geochemistry in lakes and marine systems. He is particularly interested in the global methane cycle, methane formation in relation to the origin of the organic material and methane oxidation processes. As a member of the Directorate, he represents Eawag’s Kastanienbaum site. In addition, he has been a lecturer at ETH Zurich since 2004 and Adjunct Professor since 2019. Christian Zurbrügg Group Leader Sandec Christian Zurbrügg, an expert in water supplies, sanitation and waste management, studies concepts and technologies for upgrading infrastructure and services in urban areas of low- and middle-income countries. He has led several international programmes and projects in this field. Christian Zurbrügg teaches at ETH Zurich and EPFL and is an Adjunct Professor at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.
