Daniel Dobslaw

Professor Daniel Dobslaw is an Adjunct Professor at the Institute of Spatial and Regional Planning (IREUS) at the University of Stuttgart, focusing on spatial risk research, climate adaptation, and environmental protection technologies. He holds a B.Sc. in Urbanism (Weimar, 2015) and an M.Sc. in Spatial Planning (Dortmund, 2017), followed by a research associate position since 2018. His work integrates environmental engineering with urban development, emphasizing post-conflict environmental assessment, bioremediation, and sustainable waste management.

Research Areas:

• Climate Adaptation: Urban resilience strategies, climate-driven spatial planning, and disaster risk reduction.
• Environmental Engineering: Bioreactor systems, VOC/bioaerosol removal, and water purification technologies (ozonation, ultrafiltration).
• Post-Conflict Environmental Studies: Assessing long-term impacts of war on air/water quality, heavy metal contamination, and ecological recovery.
• Biological Waste Treatment: Optimization of biotrickling filters, microbial degradation of pollutants, and non-thermal plasma applications.

Current Projects:

• ISAP: Developing integrated adaptation strategies for polycentric growth regions (e.g., Stuttgart).
• RESI-extrem: Enhancing urban resilience post-extreme events through lessons learned and adaptive strategies.

Publications: Over 34 peer-reviewed articles, 6 monographs, and numerous conference contributions, focusing on bioremediation, environmental policy, and sustainable technologies. Recent work includes studies on Mosul’s post-war environmental recovery and innovative waste air treatment systems.

Awards: None explicitly listed, though his work has been widely cited (h-index: 15) and supported by BMBF grants.

Grants & Labs: Led projects like ACM-PUSCH (Anti-Clogging measures in biotrickling filters) and PlASTiC (Plasma-based air treatment).
