otto rimfors - student of environmental engineering
DESCRIPTION
Hello! I am a student of environmental engineering at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and am seeking an exiting summer internship/job that could lead to an interesting master thesis project next spring. As a person I’m very curios, energetic, positive and used to work in groups with very different backgrounds, cultures and countries. I speak fluent Swedish, English and German, pretty good Spanish and basic Brazilian Portuguese. I am especially interested in ecosystem services, which stretches over a big range of different things, water- and soil remediation, hydrology, water extraction and waste water treatment. The studies at my institute have given me knowledge in these fields, but also other in general civil engineering. In the future I would like to work both stationary somewhere and also in for example developing countries, disaster or conflict zones with water supply and sanitation, or to work with damage control from (or prediction and modeling of) rivers flooding, land slides and droughts! Best regards and I hope I'll hear from you soon! Otto Rimfors Environmental Engineering and Sustainable Infrastructure KTH StockholmTRANSCRIPT
