Environmental Systems Laboratory, Department of Environmental Engineering

The scientific interests of the Environmental Systems Laboratory of Department of Environmental Engineering [ESL (DEE)] are related to issues of environmental protection (i.e. physicochemical and biological waste-treatment) and the development of new technologies for this purpose. The ESL (DEE) has contributed significantly to basic research and biotechnological applications of microalgae and cyanobacteria. In particular, the growth of various strains in laboratory and large-scale bioreactors has been studied in this laboratory.

Lab head: Athanasia Tekerlekopoulou
