Research Students
Julze is a health promotion and policy specialist with interest in the intersection of human health and natural/built environments. He is a Scottish Government Hydro Nation scholar investigating the adoption of blue-green prescribing in Scotland using behaviour change models and implementation science.
Rahma’s study aims to investigate and identify cellulolytic bacteria found in agriculture waste in a state of anaerobic digestion in order to improve the degradability of wastes with a high cellulose content.
Gabriele is working on a green solution to reduce harmful antibiotics in wastewater by using microalgae. His project is focused on understanding the processes occurring in microalgae while potentially removing the most worrying antibiotics commonly found in wastewater.
Jamie’s project investigates the chemical fate and behaviour of antibiotics in urban river environments using fugacity modelling approaches and utilising Polar Organic Chemical Integrative Samplers (POCIS) for monitoring purposes to assess spatial behaviour.
The general focus of William’s PhD project is to investigate the impact of climate change on water accessibility and quality in rural areas in Nigeria and to understand the coping mechanism used by rural people to adapt.
Bridget’s PhD title is: Transforming to a water-resilient future: Place-based wastewater innovation pathways
Deborah is a Medical Research Scotland microbiologist-Chemist-PhD student presently utilising phycoremediation to reduce concentrations of antibiotics and heavy metals in wastewater to subsequently control the dissemination of AMR genes in the aquatic environment.
Sophie’s PhD title is “Environmental pollution and infectious Disease in wastewater: a health priority”.
Klaudia’s PhD project is “Water reuse in the EU: A climate justice analysis”.
Jocelyn is an ETP PhD student focused on “Valorising sludge biomass waste via low-temperature processing towards a circular economy”.
