A/Prof. Ilje Pikaar received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in environmental technology from The Wageningen University (The Netherlands) and a Ph.D. degree in environmental engineering from The University of Queensland (Australia). His research interest and expertise comprise the areas of environmental electrochemistry, the global nitrogen cycle, integrated urban water management, and resource recovery with a special focus on nitrogen recovery and production of microbial proteins.

Tim Hülsen received his bachelor and master degrees from The University of Duisburg-Essen and his Ph.D. from The University of Queensland. He was technological expert for several full-scale wastewater treatment plant installations and product market development leader for ANAMMOX® and PHOSPAQ™ technologies at Paques bv. His academic work focusses on wastewater treatment and resource recovery, with PPB as the main mediator and valuable product (SCP).

Prof. Largus (Lars) Angenent leads the Environmental Biotechnology Group at the University of Tübingen in Germany. He previously was a full professor at Cornell University in the USA. His group works on recovering carbon from CO2, industrial off-gases, and organic waste streams by integrating research on applied microbiology and bioprocess engineering with systems biology and systems engineering. Recently, his group became a satellite site for the Novo Nordisk Foundation CO2 Research Center at Aarhus University in Denmark, where he also holds a 15% professorship.
