The focus of the PhD Studentship Risk-based Design in Water Engineering will be to develop a methodology to identify, select and quantify sources of uncertainty in model-based design of wastewater treatment
plants. The methodology should allow predicting the probability of meeting effluent
standards and be applied to critically review the often excessive safety margins in
current design practice. It will be developed and tested on full-scale treatment
plants in North America and Europe.
