Aaron’s research focuses on aspects of professional (interpersonal and person-group) relations and governance strategies that shape collaboration and cooperation in projects.
Laura’s research focuses on understanding the fate and uptake of emerging contaminants in the natural environment, with particular focus on terrestrial systems.
Ksenia’s research explores the processes of disaster risk creation and enhances the understanding of systemic implications of sustainability and resilience under the pressures of neoliberalism, urbanisation and climate change.
Gaby’s main areas of expertise are nature based solutions for wastewater treatment and biogeochemical transformation of phosphorus, iron and nitrate in natural and engineered systems.
Yadira’s core research area is in bioresources treatment, including anaerobic digestion of waste materials and municipal sludge, AD pre-treatment technologies and biosolids to land.
Sohail’s research area is the provision of sustainable urban infrastructure to the bottom billion people through partnering; policy, planning, procurement, management and innovation including transformative technologies.
Dr Rebecca King trained in Social Anthropology at the University of Cambridge. She worked for several years in the international development sector on livelihoods, food security and health programmes in South Asia and West Africa. Rebecca is now an Associate Professor in International Health, and Head of the Nuffield Centre for International Health and Development.
Rebecca leads a portfolio of research, which brings together her expertise in participatory community-based interventions, the importance of embedding approaches within the existing health infrastructure, and the critical need to address antimicrobial resistance globally. She co-leads a global network of researchers and practitioners working to address AMR through community engagement (CE4AMR@leeds.ac.uk).
Tim’s research focuses primarily on the application of numerical models and analysis methods in order to better understand the hydrodynamics of open channel flows.
Anna’s research focuses on the politics of global development and development practice: how the aid system works, how to improve local service delivery and governance; how to manage natural resources (primarily water), and how to reduce vulnerability through improved livelihoods.
Since 2001 Dr. Narayanaswamy has worked as a research practitioner, consultant and now as an academic working at the nexus between development theory and practice. Her research critically reflects on gendered/intersectional and post/decolonial dynamics of development knowledge and its perceived contribution to addressing global development challenges. She is currently involved in applied, interdisciplinary research related to gender and climate change, water security and decolonising development.
Tanja’s research interests include waste water treatment, renewable energy from waste and supplying energy for rural communities in developing countries.
Rebecca’s primary research area addresses the provision of sustainable sanitation and water services to protect public health and environmental systems.
Heather’s research explores the governance, institutions and societal dimensions of the water and wastewater services sector, with particular focus on the relationship between governance and resilience.
Toby’s research interests include land resources monitoring for crop inventory and food security through the application of remote sensing to precision agriculture.
