Summary
I am an environmental scientist with background in natural resources management, environmental technology and policy. My research focuses on applying systems thinking to address complex environmental problems, formulating evidence-based methodologies to enhance decision-making and facilitate the effective implementation of environmental policies.
Before joining Ã÷ÐÇ°ËØÔ, I was a at Imperial College London working in the NERC funded project “” (2019 - 2023) and in several funded projects (2018 - 2023) on the operation of the company’s Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs), the contaminants and risks associated with their discharges at receiving waters. During my doctoral research (2015 - 2019), I investigated strategies to adapt EU water policy and management to minimize the ecological and socio-economic consequences of water scarcity and ongoing global change. This research was conducted as part of the project, funded by the European Commission’s Seventh Framework Programme.
