BOKU Story: Marion Huber-Humer
We are pleased to present episode 2 of our new video format "BOKU Stories", with which we present BOKU personalities. This time we introduce Prof. Marion Huber-Humer from the Institute of Waste Management as well as her field of research - which could not be more current e.g. in the nanowaste- or food sector. Plus, learn about her original career aspiration, which turned out to be too bloody after all.
