Steffen Heusch

Prof. Steffen Heusch is a Professor of Water Management and Hydrology at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Mittelhessen University of Applied Sciences. His research focuses on urban drainage systems, hydraulic modeling, water quality, and sustainable engineering. He is part of the Competence Center for Sustainable Engineering and Environmental Systems (ZEuUS). Key achievements include developing the BlueM software package for integrated river basin management and advancing optimal control of sewer networks using model predictive control (MPC). He has authored over 10 publications, with notable work on microalgae-based fertilization, urban water quality assessments, and hydraulic simulation frameworks. His teaching and supervision are centered in the Department of Water Management and Hydrology, offering thesis topics in his research areas.

Education details are not explicitly stated in the texts, but his academic rank and publications suggest a PhD in Engineering (Dr.-Ing). He collaborates with institutions like ETH Zurich and TU Graz, contributing to interdisciplinary projects such as the Mies in the West exhibition series. His work bridges software development (e.g., BlueM.MPC), environmental policy, and practical urban infrastructure solutions.

Research interests span environmental systems modeling, sustainable water management, and the integration of wastewater treatment with urban planning. He actively participates in water resource conferences and maintains an open-access profile on ResearchGate with over 1,999 reads and 59 citations.
