I graduated with a MEng in Engineering (Mechanical) from the University of Durham in 2004 I went on to study for my PhD at the University of Southampton with the project title "Development of a Mesh Bioreactor for the Anaerobic Digestion of Biodegradable Municipal Waste".
In the subsequent decade I have continued to specialise in anaerobic digestion and biogas systems applied as a bioenergy technology and to treat both organic waste and wastewater. Increasingly my research has broadened to incorporate more general issues surrounding energy system integration and decarbonisation, industrial and environmental biotechnology and the bio- and circular economies.
