معرفی
Anna Mikola serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of the Built Environment at Aalto University, Finland, focusing on advanced wastewater treatment and environmental engineering solutions. Her work bridges academic research with practical applications in sustainable water management.
Her research centers on circular economy implementation in water systems, with specialized expertise in fungal biotechnology for dairy/food waste valorization, nitrous oxide emissions control in cold-climate wastewater treatment, and resource recovery from waste streams. Current investigations include vivianite-based phosphate recovery, dissolved oxygen modeling for energy optimization, and climate impact assessments of national wastewater infrastructure.
Analysis of her 2023-2025 publications reveals consistent emphasis on cold-climate adaptation challenges, biological waste conversion processes, and quantification of environmental trade-offs in wastewater treatment. Her work demonstrates strong industry-academia collaboration, particularly with Finnish water technology companies.
Scientific recognition includes:
- Kemira Award from Waterworks Association and Kemira, Finland
As an active member of Aalto's Water and Environmental Engineering research group, Dr. Mikola leads experimental studies on full-scale wastewater treatment plants while developing novel biological approaches for waste valorization. Her research portfolio indicates ongoing projects related to climate-resilient wastewater treatment and circular resource management, though specific grant details aren't provided in available materials.
