About me

Erica completed her undergraduate training at the University of New South Wales (Australia) and has a PhD in Environmental Soil Chemistry from The University of Reading (UK). Her postdoctoral research experience ranged from supporting the practical aspects of policy implementation for the EU Water Framework Directive to interdisciplinary research focused on the transport, fate, and effects of contaminants in environmental systems, wastewater treatment and reuse, and the beneficial use and optimisation of organic waste products. Her ARC Future Fellowship focused on understanding the prevalence and mobility of microbial silver resistance and cross-resistance in environmental microbial communities and the implications for silver nanotechnology and human/environmental health.

In her current research, Erica continues to investigate the links between chemical selective pressure and microbial ecology and resistance. She seeks to understand the environmental dimensions of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), such as the role of pollution in promoting AMR development and spread. Her research reveals the intimate links between human, animal, and environmental health and is grounded in the concepts of One Health and One Water.

Erica is also heavily engaged in advancing the science of wastewater-based epidemiology for infectious disease surveillance. She is the Director of Industry Partnerships and co-lead of the One Health Science stream for the OUTBREAK consortium which seeks to deliver an artificial intelligence powered One Health AMR surveillance system, and she is a key CI in the international JPI AMR ‘WAWES’ network: “Wildlife, Agricultural soils, Water environments and antimicrobial resistance - what is known, needed and feasible for global Environmental Surveillance”.

In recent years Erica led an SA govenment-funded international collaboration project on antimicrobial resistance in wastewater treatment plants and downstream environments, and participated in European COST Action ES1403: ‘New and Emerging Challenges and Opportunities in Wastewater Reuse’ (http://www.nereus-cost.eu, 2014–2018), contributing particularly to Working Group 1 (WG1): ‘Microbiome and mobile antibiotic resistome in treated wastewater and in downstream environments’.
