Biography
Ganbaatar Khurelbaatar studied civil engineering at Mongolian University of Science and Technology in Darkhan. Shortly after graduation, he received a DAAD scholarship for his doctoral thesis at the Bauhaus University Weimar, in Germany. During his PhD, he worked on a technology that could withstand Mongolia’s extremely harsh winters and would provide economic benefits. After he completed his PhD, he joined a team of researchers working on water-sensitive infrastructure planning (WASP) at the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research in Leipzig, Germany. Within the WASP, he worked on the development of GIS-based decision support tool for wastewater management scenarios to determine the most cost-efficient solution. In the wake of climate change and ever-increasing urbanization, he is also working on planning methods for so-called blue-green infrastructure or nature-based solutions for urban water management. Overall, he has worked on a number of international projects in Germany, Spain, Denmark, Jordan, Oman, India, China and Mongolia.
