Beatrice Kulli Honauer

Dr. Beatrice Kulli Honauer is a researcher at the Institute of Natural Resource Sciences, part of the ZHAW School of Life Sciences and Facility Management. Her work focuses on soil science and environmental engineering, particularly in circular economy practices, hydrothermal carbonization (HTC), and sustainable agriculture.

• Key Affiliations: Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), Soil Science Society of Switzerland.

Research Interests: Dr. Honauer investigates soil compaction, waste valorization through HTC, and the impact of pollutants like PFAS on soil health. She specializes in sustainable solutions for organic residue treatment, phosphorus recovery from sewage sludge, and soil fertility enhancement.

Recent Publications: Her recent work includes advancements in HTC technology for fertilizer production (2023), analysis of alpine grassland restoration (2022-2023), and challenges in road drainage systems (2022). Earlier studies focus on soil compaction (2004) and flow pattern analysis (2003).

Projects: She leads projects on circular economy in agriculture, soil fertility, and water treatment filters. Notable completed projects include the LCA of substrates and faecal waste treatment via HTC.
