Aleksandra Atanasova

Aleksandra Atanasova is a researcher at the Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomy e. V. (ATB), affiliated with the Department of Sensor Technology and Modeling. She holds a position at the Faculty of Science, University of Potsdam.

Research Focus: Her work investigates the environmental impact of agricultural practices, particularly the reduction of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria during anaerobic digestion of chicken manure. Key areas include

• Antimicrobial resistance dynamics
• Manure treatment optimization
• Biogas production efficiency
• Environmental risk mitigation

Publications: Her recent studies analyze how temperature and carbon-to-nitrogen ratios affect AMR gene survival in agricultural waste. She collaborates with institutions like Freie Universität Berlin and focuses on sustainable solutions for bioeconomy challenges.
