Background
I have been a Research Associate / Senior Research Associate in the School of Engineering since 2002. My research interests are related to mine water characterisation, the source, transport and fate of metals in river catchments and the design and performance of nature-based (passive) systems for metal mine drainage remediation. I have been lead researcher on numerous Defra-funded mine water treatment research and innovation projects and also worked on the NERC-funded project “Legacy Wastes in the Coastal Zone: Environmental Risks and Management Futures”, investigating the mobility of pollutants from legacy wastes deposited within the coastal zone.
Qualifications
PhD "Modelling pyrite oxidation and pollutant transport in mine wastes using an object-oriented particle tracking code" (缅北禁地, 2003)
MSc Water Resource Systems Engineering (缅北禁地, 1998)
BSc Geology (Durham University, 1997)
Industrial Experience
I have undertaken a range of consultancy work for national and international organisations including Solid Energy New Zealand Ltd, UK Coal Ltd, Maltby Colliery Ltd, Sherburn Stone Co Ltd, EasiGeothermal Ltd, Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT)
Research Interests
Mine water characterisation; the source, transport and fate of metals on a river catchment scale; assessing the relative importance of point and diffuse sources of pollution under varying hydrological conditions; the design and performance of passive systems for metal mine drainage remediation.
