Uwe Strotmann

Prof. Dr. Uwe Strotmann serves as Professor in the Department of Engineering and Natural Sciences at Westfälische Hochschule, Recklinghausen, where he acts as academic advisor for the Chemistry program. His research laboratory focuses on critical environmental assessment methodologies within applied microbiology and biotechnology.

His primary research interests encompass the development and standardization of microbiological toxicity tests and biodegradation assessment protocols, biochemical process engineering, and advanced water/wastewater treatment technologies. He has pioneered adaptations of ISO/OECD methodologies for evaluating chemical impacts on microbial ecosystems, with particular emphasis on respirometric and luminescent-based bioassays for industrial effluent monitoring.

Analysis of his publication trajectory reveals sustained innovation in environmental testing systems, evolving from foundational work on nitrification inhibition and chlorinated hydrocarbon degradation to contemporary research on integrated biodegradability frameworks. His 2023-2024 publications demonstrate active engagement in modernizing OECD/ISO testing paradigms for emerging environmental challenges.

As Chemistry program academic advisor, Prof. Strotmann provides curriculum guidance and research mentorship. His office (B7.1.303, August-Schmidt-Ring 10) operates by appointment, supporting both academic administration and research supervision within the engineering faculty's environmental research cluster.
