Topics

I am interested in supervising PhD topics in the following broad areas:

• Environmental Organic Chemistry
• Environmental Chemistry of Trace Elements
• Wastewater Treatment & Characterisation
• Potable Water Treatment & Characterisation
• Disinfection-by-products e.g. projects concerned with the qualitative and quantitative understanding of DBPs in water samples
• Exposome Science
• Environmental Science e.g. projects concerned with effect directed characterisation of the ecotoxicity/toxicity of samples
• Environmental Analysis e.g. projects utilizing Advanced Analytical Chemistry techniques e.g. Chromatography (HPLC/UPLC/GC), Mass Spectrometry (MS/MS, HRM), Chemometrics and Sampling

I am also interested in research topics in related subjects
