About

I am a Senior Lecturer in Environmental Sciences at the University of the West of Scotland (Paisley). My research interests include international sustainable development looking at the development or repurposing of technologies that can be used in water, healthcare and agri-food sectors. I carried out several postdoctoral projects at the the University of the West of England, Bristol and University of Manchester.

My PhD developed point-of-use water treatment technologies for the production of drinking water. For this I focussed on the biological and chemical (trihalomethanes) quality of treated water, as well as comparing how different disinfectants manage the formation of biofilms on ultrafiltration membrane surfaces.

Since completing my PhD in 2019, I delivered several research projects in the water, healthcare and agri-food fields. Projects included working with international partners (e.g. India, Madagascar & Taiwan) on sustainable development/sustainable technology projects that focus on small-scale electrochemical treatment technologies. These projects aim to produce high quality drinking water, sterile solutions for wound irrigation and/or bio-compatible antimicrobials (hypochlorous acid) for use in resource constrained healthcare facilities or minimise microbial bioburden on fresh produce.
