Julia Zeilinger

Julia Zeilinger M.Sc. is a researcher at the Institute of Process and Energy Engineering within the Department of Landscape, Water and Infrastructure at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). Her work focuses on sustainable urban development, particularly examining temporary and pop-up housing solutions through the lens of circular economy principles.

Her research interests span urban planning, sustainable housing models, waste management, and resource efficiency in urban contexts. Dr. Zeilinger investigates how temporary housing environments can function as local innovation systems that promote circularity and sustainability in urban areas.

Her publication record demonstrates consistent focus on sustainable temporary housing solutions, with particular attention to resource management, waste prevention, and circular design approaches. Her work often bridges engineering, urban planning, and environmental management perspectives to develop practical solutions for sustainable urban development.

Dr. Zeilinger has supervised at least one master's thesis on structural criteria for evaluating temporary housing forms. She has been involved in several research projects related to urban pop-up housing environments and sustainable resource management, including projects funded by WWTF and other institutions.

Her collaborative work extends across multiple departments at BOKU, including the Institute of Waste and Recycling Management, Institute of Landscape Planning, and Institute of Spatial Planning, demonstrating her interdisciplinary approach to sustainable urban development challenges.
