Dwight Houweling

Dwight Houweling is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil, Geological and Mining Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal. His expertise focuses on environmental engineering and wastewater treatment, particularly in nutrient removal, biological processes, and modeling.

• B.Sc. in Civil Engineering (Queen’s University)
• Ph.D. in Civil Engineering (Polytechnique Montréal)
• Industrial Postdoctoral Fellow at EnviroSim Assoc. Ltd.

Research interests include municipal/industrial wastewater treatment, phosphorus/nitrogen removal, biofilm systems, mechanistic modeling, and sludge densification. His work bridges activated sludge optimization, membrane-aerated biofilms, and green wastewater solutions.

Recent publications emphasize modeling frameworks for nature-based solutions, biofilm technology in retrofitting plants, and sludge characterization in lagoons. He collaborates with institutions like EnviroSim Assoc. Ltd. and contributes to the Laboratoire de génie de l'environnement (LGE) at Polytechnique Montréal.
