Ellen Edefell

Project manager

Ellen Edefell is a project manager at Sweden Water Research, working on water reuse and the possibilities of producing drinking water from wastewater. Micro-pollutants are another area in which she will continue to be involved. She obtained her PhD in 2022 from Lund University, Faculty of Engineering and Sweden Water Research in the field of Water Supply and Wastewater Engineering with the thesis titled “Perspectives on Biofilms for the Removal of Organic Micropollutants in Wastewater.” During 2022-2023, she has worked as a development engineer at NSVA.

Ellenis is focus area leader of Biological stability of drinking water. She emphasizes the importance of collaborations to enhance our collective expertise. This applies to collaborations between Sweden Water Research and its owners NSVA, VASYD, and Sydvatten, as well as with universities and other water and wastewater organizations.
