Ing. Lucie Pokorná, Ph.D.

Od roku 2011 jsem se intenzivně věnovala odstraňování sulfanu z bioplynu pomocí mikroaerace, a to jak z pohledu technologie a detailního studia mikrobiálního společenství, tak i s využitím matematického modelování a process control. Aktuálně se věnuji matematickému modelování ve vodním hospodářství, řízením procesů a digitalizaci. Dále pak také potenciálnímu využití elektrochemie ve vodním hospodářství a formě výskytu kovů ve vodách a životním prostředí.
