After completing his studies in Materials Engineering, Momo pivoted towards the environmental sector to do his part in changing the many linear approaches to managing our resources, closing the loops on carbon and water through innovative technologies, tools and active stakeholder engagement. He has a keen interest in solving our global food waste crisis through more conscious resource recovery, reduction and recycling and in creating greener and more livable cities for the preferred future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On today\u2019s show, Momo and I discuss his different innovative approaches to closing the carbon cycle, from working with microbes and fungi in fuel cells to heating and food waste valorization. We touch upon his journey into urban blue-green infrastrucutures and rainwater harvesting and how his active engagement with stakeholders has evolved his perspective on environmental technology and tools to create a more nature-based, sustainable future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wei-Shan_Chen_Profilepic.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1440\" data-attachment-id=\"1970\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/petermbach.com\/index.php\/podcast\/047-wei-shan-chen\/wei-shan_chen_profilepic\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wei-Shan_Chen_Profilepic.jpg?fit=2240%2C2240&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2240,2240\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Wei-Shan_Chen_Profilepic\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wei-Shan_Chen_Profilepic.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wei-Shan_Chen_Profilepic.jpg?fit=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wei-Shan_Chen_Profilepic.jpg?resize=1440%2C1440&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1970\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wei-Shan_Chen_Profilepic.jpg?w=2240&amp;ssl=1 2240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wei-Shan_Chen_Profilepic.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wei-Shan_Chen_Profilepic.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wei-Shan_Chen_Profilepic.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wei-Shan_Chen_Profilepic.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wei-Shan_Chen_Profilepic.jpg?resize=1536%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wei-Shan_Chen_Profilepic.jpg?resize=2048%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wei-Shan_Chen_Profilepic.jpg?resize=465%2C465&amp;ssl=1 465w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wei-Shan_Chen_Profilepic.jpg?resize=500%2C500&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biography<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wei-Shan Chen, also known as &#8220;Momo&#8221;, is an Assistant Professor at Wageningen University whose research focuses on designing urban infrastructure transition pathways that facilitate circular resource management in urban environments. He combines biotechnology insights and urban digital twins to simulate the implementation of circular technologies and the required infrastructure transitions, addressing three key resource streams: urban rainwater reuse, domestic food waste valorization, and commodity plastic recycling through AMS projects like RainOasis and Bin2Bean. In addition to his research, he is committed to educating the next generation of urban engineers and technologists, mentoring postdoctoral researchers, PhD candidates, Engineering Doctorate students, and Master&#8217;s thesis students who are tackling urban challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A concrete example of his work is the BGIS tool his team created for the city of Amsterdam to plan nature-based solutions at high spatial resolution in urban spaces, maximizing their multifunctionality. BGIS stands for blue-green infrastructure and geo-information systems, and the tool not only facilitates NbS planning but also supports the design of economically viable implementation plans when aligned with subsurface urban infrastructure renovation. He believes that cities should and could plan their urban transitions in a more comprehensive and adaptive way to prepare for highly dynamic climate and global changes, and he has found this shared vision in Amsterdam, where he makes concrete steps forward with inspiring stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id='buzzsprout-small-player-limit-5-artist-wei-shan-chen'><\/div><script type='text\/javascript' charset='utf-8' src='https:\/\/www.buzzsprout.com\/2083595.js?artist=Wei-Shan+Chen&#038;container_id=buzzsprout-small-player-limit-5-artist-wei-shan-chen&#038;limit=5&#038;player=small'><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resources Related to the Episode<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I reference Martijn Kuller, who\u2019s been on the show in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/petermbach.com\/index.php\/podcast\/003-martijn-kuller\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"642\">Episode 3 <\/a><\/strong>and the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/petermbach.com\/index.php\/podcast\/notebooklm\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1742\">Mini-Series<\/a><\/strong>.
