Maria is a lecturer-researcher in the Water Technology research group. She graduated in Water Management from HZ University of Applied Sciences in 2014 and continued with a master's degree in Water Technology at Wetsus Academy.
After obtaining her master's degree, she conducted her internship and final thesis related to Nereda®, a wastewater treatment technology developed by Royal HaskoningDHV. In her thesis, she focused on the recovery of alginate-like exopolysaccharides from Nereda®, excess sludge via membrane filtration. +
Marianna Ansiliero de Olivieira Coelho is coordinator of the Biobased Construction research group.
She is a Brazilian and passionate about civil engineering and the search for new materials for construction. Her research interest started during her bachelor of Civil Engineering when she was part of a research group as an intern and later on in her graduation thesis.
After her enthusiasm for research had been initiated, she continued with a master in Structural Engineering, and after that, she concluded a PhD developed part in Brazil and Germany in the same area. She worked for seven years at a research university in Brazil. She’s grateful for the opportunities to work on a variety of topics such as bamboo structures, recycled concrete and membrane structures.
Marianna worked on research projects testing materials in the laboratory and also calculating and simulating numerically. This combination can accelerate the understanding and behaviour of construction materials.
The change to HZ came from a desire to work closer to companies and industries. Unfortunately, some research she had developed in Brazil didn't reach the industry and the final consumer. Conducting research at a university of applied sciences allows her to work together with companies on research projects and to develop final products. Currently, her goal is to reduce the amount of cement used in concrete and search for alternatives to concrete. Also, the use of natural fibres as a substitution for gravel and sand and as reinforcement for construction materials. +
Marieta Rosendaal is a teacher-researcher at the Excellence and Innovation in Education lectureship.
“Children do not care how much you know, until they know how much you care.” -Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919)
Marieta studied Pedagogical Sciences and Educational Sciences at Radboud University in Nijmegen and delved further into learning problems. For more depth and an extra challenge during her studies, she also studied at the University of Oulu and the University of Lapland in Finland.
After various internships at home and abroad, she became a teacher of Pedagogy at HZ University of Applied Sciences. Here she teaches various courses to Pedagogy students, guides students in their graduation research and helps develop the curriculum.
Marieta cares about the well-being of children and is convinced that a child can learn if he feels good about himself. This is reflected in the studies she is involved in as a teacher-researcher. For example, for a complementary study into Collaborative Investigative Working in Regional Networks (NRO), she is following a study into language development and the prevention of low literacy in Rotterdam-South. She is also project leader of a study into the added value of pedagogues in the classroom, in which pedagogues are introduced into primary school teams to meet the development needs of all students through interdisciplinary collaboration. +

Mireille Martens obtained a Bachelor's degree in Psychology in Belgium, studied Aquatic Ecotechnology at HZ University of Applied Science in the Netherlands and holds a Master's degree in Environmental Science from the University of Halmstad (Sweden), where she specialized in wetlands.
She started at HZ as a researcher-lecturer. From 2019 to 2021 she worked as project leader of the TKI wetland project investigating whether wetlands can be used as a pre-treatment to reduce the amount of biofouling in a desalination plant (e.g. Ion Exchange and Reverse Osmosis). She is currently researching how the cities of Middelburg and Vlissingen can be made more climate-adaptive (Dutch grant OP Zuid) with focus on improving water quality in urban environments through blue-green solutions. In addition, as project leader she is responsible for work package 4 of Aquatuur Interreg Flanders The Nederlands. This project investigates to what extent wetlands can contribute to freshwater availability in a water-scarce region.
In addition to her work at the Water Technology group, Mireille also teaches various modules of the Water Management course, such as Ecological water quality, Hydrology and Advanced Water Technology.
In addition to her job at HZ, Mireille works for a Belgian company that constructs and designs wetlands. Here, too, she is mainly involved in research projects such as the Horizon 2020 project Multi Source, where the reuse of treated wastewater is being investigated at a Belgian campsite. Another example is the H2pOwer project, subsidized by the Flemish government, with the aim of realizing additional water treatment via a riparian plant roof that is fed with treated waste water - through a wetland - from an office building. +
