Biography

I graduated from the Environmental Art department at Glasgow School of Art in 2001 (BA Hons) and worked as sculptor for five years before returning to academia to retrain as a Civil Engineer (Meng 1st class, 2011, UofG).

I embarked on a career in research motivated by the potential for engineers to contribute to address of the global water and sanitation crises.  My PhD (UofG, 2016) on the ‘Ecology, physiology and performance in high-rate anaerobic digestion’ employed molecular and biochemical analytical methods to investigate the influence of bioreactor geometry and system scale on microbial community composition and function, and, proposed the application of limit-state testing to biotechnologies.

As a PDRA on the Frontier Engineering grant at UofG I led on the development of the novel robotics platform ‘Wastebot’ which enables systematic, high-throughput optimisation of microbial community metabolism.  Subsequently I was awarded an EPSRC Doctoral Research Fellowship coupling limit-state testing with automated high-throughput experimentation to rationalise the design of complex microbial communities for water treatment biotechnologies.

I currently lecture in Environmental Engineering at and lead my research team within the Water and Environment Research Group at UofG.

Research interests

My work is fundamentally motivated by the global water and sanitation crises. It is estimated that today as many as 1.2 billion people live without access to safe drinking water and 2.4 billion without access to safe sanitation.  Whilst the solution to these crises is in no doubt political in part, I believe that sustainable engineering solutions have a role to play in delivering global public and environmental health protection and in achieving safe, sustainable water for all.

  • Vision: Engineered low-cost, decentralized, sustainable biological water treatment and sanitation solutions that are resilient to the challenges of climate change and enhance the quality of living of urban and rural communities globally. 
  • Approach: Theory-informed design of engineered biotechnologies using high-throughput limit-state optimisation and failure testing enabled by state-of-the-art automated approaches.
  • Methodological expertise: molecular ecology, microbiology, computational ‘omics approaches, aerobic and anaerobic microcosm experiments, laboratory automation.
