Jörg E. Drewes Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jörg E. Drewes holds Dipl. Ing. and Dr.-Ing. degrees in environmental engineering from the Technical University Berlin, Germany. Since 2013, he has been the Chair Professor of Urban Water Systems Engineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany. At TUM, he serves as the speaker for TUM’s interdisciplinary Water Cluster. Previously, he served as Full Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines, U.S.A. (2001–2013) and Director of Research for the National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center on Reinventing the Nation’s Urban Water Infrastructure (ReNUWIt). Professor Drewes’ research and scholarly activities are focusing on energy-efficient engineered and naturally based water treatment systems, potable water reuse, monitoring strategies and treatment performance assessments and water recycling, and the fate and transport of trace organic chemicals in engineered and natural water systems. Dr. Drewes has published more than 300 journal papers, book contributions, and conference proceedings. He served on multiple science advisory panels and chaired blue ribbon panels on topics related to public health, engineering, and reliability of water and water reuse projects in the U.S., Australia, Africa, and the European Union.
Thomas Letzel Prof. Dr. rer. nat. habil. Thomas Letzel is an analytical chemist with almost 20 years of professional experience in the field of analytical screening techniques using liquid and gas phase chromatography with mass spectrometric detection. Prof. Letzel is head of the Analytical Research Group at the Chair of Urban Water Systems Engineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany. He holds Dipl. and Dr. degrees in chemistry and the license to teach analytical and bioanalytical chemistry from TUM. Currently, the key aspects in his research cover technological, analytical-methodological, and analytical-chemical properties and can be applied in water and wastewater analysis as well as in other relevant environmental matrices, food analysis, beverage and plant extract analysis, among others. New separation techniques, like RPLC-HILIC-MS and SFC-MS, allow the polarity extended separation and identification of organic molecules. A special focus of his is on the chemical analysis with simultaneous functionality analysis using mass spectrometric detection. Dr. Letzel is author and co-author of more than 150 journal papers, book contributions, conference proceedings, and three books. He has experience with many national and international research projects, and he actively participates in international environmental initiatives like NORMAN Association and ESSEM COST Action ES1307.
