Sabrina Hedrich is a Professor of Microbiology and Biohydrometallurgy at TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany. She graduated in 2011 with a PhD in Microbiology from TU Freiberg, Germany, focusing on biological mine water treatment. She held a postdoc position at Bangor University (UK) from 2010 to 2012, focusing on the physiology and application of acidophilic microorganisms for mine water treatment. From 2013 to 2020 she worked as a senior research officer at the Federal Institute of Geosciences and Natural Resources, Germany in biohydrometallurgy and process development for industrial purposes. Her research targets developing and monitoring sustainable bioprocesses for metal recovery from primary and secondary resources and biological wastewater treatment.
Oliver Wiche is a Professor of Applied Geoecology at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences and holds a PhD from the TU Bergakademie Freiberg, where he studied rhizosphere effects on the plant availability of non-essential elements. Currently, his research focuses on the biopathways of trace metals in soil-plant systems, physiological adaptations of plants to extreme environments and plant-based solutions for the remediation of soils.
