Sigrid Bertelmann

Sigrid Bertelmann is a Researcher at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences' Civil Engineering Laboratory under the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Landscape Architecture. She holds a Dipl.-Ing. FH in Landscape Architecture from the same institution and has extensive professional experience in civil engineering, urban planning, and landscape architecture.

• Education: Dipl.-Ing. FH in Landscape Architecture (2001), Fachhochschule Osnabrück.
• Professional Experience: 2002–2018 in municipal planning and construction, followed by her current role as a Research Assistant since 2018.

Her research focuses on geotechnical engineering, sustainable materials in construction, and sports facility design, particularly equestrian arenas. Key projects include analyzing synthetic additives in sports surfaces and evaluating soil mechanics in athletic infrastructure. She collaborates with institutions like the German Equestrian Federation (FN) and the German Sport Science Institute (BISp). Her work bridges civil engineering, environmental science, and applied landscape architecture.

Advising & Grants: Involved in federally funded projects like "Prüfung des Reaktionsverhaltens von Tretschichten" (2022–2024) and "Sondierung zu Zuschlagstoffen" (2020–2021). Consults on soil mechanics and construction practices for sustainable infrastructure.

Labs/Teams: Active in the Civil Engineering Laboratory, contributing to interdisciplinary research in geotechnical applications and sports facility engineering.
