Research focus

Passionate about the well being of this planet. My research interests and work focus on the understanding of major pollution issues, (e.g. Organic Municipal Solid Waste, Plastic waste) and the development of solutions to address these using Microbiology and Chemistry (e.g. Environmental Biotechnology, Waste valorisation, Resource Recovery from Waste). The difference is in the small things!
