About me

Bio: My core research interests and expertise are in urban water systems (water quality, wastewater treatment and water recycling), environmental microbiology and microbial ecology, sustainability and life cycle assessment (sustainable decision-making, carbon footprinting) and the intersection of environmental science and policy. My research broadly seeks to improve the technical, economic and environmental performance of 'human–environmental' systems, and increase the utility and uptake of quantitative sustainability assessment principles in the regulation and management of these systems. More recently, I've sought to apply my broad interests in applied microbiology to other areas including antimicrobial resistance and... Read more
