and Dr. habilitatus in Environmental Biotechnology at Technical University of
Munich, Germany. In addition, he conducted postdoctoral work in Molecular
Genetics at the Flemish Institute for Technology in Belgium. Dr. Wuertz?s
research interests span the interface of environmental microbiology and
engineering. He specializes in biofilm systems, the use of molecular tools to
describe microbial communities and biological processes in bioreactors, and
developing methodology to detect low-level pathogens in the environment
combined with microbial source tracking and microbial risk assessment. He has
been an editor of the international journal Water Research, the top
ranked journal in Water Resources, since 2003 and has written over 100
peer-reviewed journal and other scientific publications. Most recently,
