Research area: Waste treatment and resource management

Publications

Julika Knapp has been working as a research assistant in the Environmental Engineering Unit at the University of Innsbruck since 2009. Her Research Area focuses on environmental assessment, with an emphasis on waste, resources and bioenergy. In particular, she examines the environmental assessment of various technologies, materials and products, as well as issues relating to waste treatment, resource management and waste prevention.

She is involved in various research projects in which she investigates, amongst other things, methods for utilising biomass and bio-waste, as well as alternative materials and products. In doing so, she compares the various options in terms of their environmental impacts. She also teaches on the subject of life cycle assessments and supervises students’ project work and dissertations.

Julika Knapp studied Technical Environmental Protection at the Technical University of Berlin and the University of Nottingham, specialising in water and wastewater management, environmental management, and waste prevention and recycling. After completing her studies, she lived in Chile for a year, where she carried out a study on local water resource management. She then spent six years working at adelphi, an international environmental research and consultancy institute, including six months based in China. At adelphi, she focused in particular on international technology and know-how transfer, as well as on adapted environmental technologies in developing and emerging economies.
