Niels Iversen

Niels Iversen serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Bioscience at Aalborg University's Faculty of Engineering and Science, Denmark. His research addresses critical environmental challenges through interdisciplinary approaches spanning microbiology, chemistry, and engineering, with significant contributions to greenhouse gas mitigation and pollution control.

His research portfolio emphasizes:

• Methane mitigation technologies using microbial and photochemical oxidation
• Ecotoxicity assessment and treatment of tire wear rubber/microplastics
• Microbial ecology in agricultural and aquatic systems
• Climate change adaptation strategies

Recent publication trends reveal concentrated efforts on developing scalable methane reduction systems (e.g., Methane Scrubber projects) and advanced oxidation treatments for microplastic pollution, demonstrating translational research from laboratory to real-world environmental applications.

Dr. Iversen leads multiple externally funded initiatives including the Novo Nordisk Foundation's Methane Mitigation Device (2023-2025) and Danish Offshore Technology Centre's Methane Scrubber II (2023-2024), with notable industry and governmental collaborations. His scholarly impact extends through 53 research outputs and frequent media engagement, including recent coverage of methane-reducing bacterial applications in agricultural waste management.
