Neha S. Jagtap (Arizona State University & University of Florida, USA)
Urine collection in a multi-story building and opportunities for onsite recovery of nutrients and non-potable water
Dr. Neha Jagtap graduated from the University of Florida in 2019 under the supervision of Dr. Treavor Boyer. After her 1st year as a PhD student, she moved with Dr. Boyer to ASU where she spent the next 3 years. Neha’s research focused on selective nutrient recovery from urine to produce multiple fertilizer products. She now works for Hazen and Sawyer, in Orlando, FL.
Louise Raguet (Independent, France)
With Marcelle, let’s collect women’s urine too!
Louise Raguet is a Paris-based designer. In collaboration with scientists, sociologists, dry toilets companies or farmers, she works for closing the nutrients cycle between cities and agricultural countryside. She designed a female urinal called Marcelle, that is produced in France and for sale in Europe. She is also a member of the designer group called L’Assemblée des Noues, tackling social and environmental issues, especially about food, farming and education about nature.
David Berg (DLB Planning, USA)
Can Urine Diversion Lower Nitrogen Loads to Coastal Waterbodies?
David Berg is a consultant to Long Island public and private entities working to reduce nitrogen loads to surface waters. Prior to this work he was an environmental analyst and land use planner at an engineering consulting firm, where many of his projects involved wastewater planning and environmental restoration.
Diego Lima Medeiros (Federal University of Bahia, Brazil)
