Iacovidou
my research focuses on environmental management, with emphasis on resource and waste management systems. specifically, i develop methods for performing holistic and integrated environmental, economic, social and technical assessments of resource recovery systems based on a systems thinking approach. using this approach, i combine environmental science and engineering with an understanding of the political, organisational, structural and cultural aspects that act synergistically in a resource recovery system to highlight areas of intervention for promoting sustainability. my research is predominantly desktop based and focuses on four key areas: food waste prevention and management plastic and plastic packaging system assessment construction components reuse and modular structures waste electrical and electronic equipment (weee) repair and reuse i am also interested in the implications of technological and regulatory lock-ins, the role of stakeholders in sustainability transitions, the impact of informal recycling systems on environment and society, in waste infrastructure availability and adaptation based on area-specific characteristics, the use of smart technologies for tracking components and products across the value chain, and in circular economy. since arriving at brunel university in october 2018, i have been involved in teaching on the msc programme in environmental management and the bsc programme in environmental sciences. i contributed to the "environmental management and legislation" (msc) and "research skills, gis and fieldwork ii" modules (bsc - year 2). this academic year (2019/20) i will lead the module in “environmental management” (msc) and the study blocks in "environmental governance" (bsc - year 3) and "sustainable development" (bsc - year 3).

Jobling
i am director of the institute of environment, health and societies and a professor of environmental toxicology, with a team comprising two postdoctoral researchers, and two current phd students. i am interested in how environmental contaminants affect the health of wildlife and humans as exposure to these is a part of our everyday lives, particularly in urban environments where 80% of uk citizens live and work. the diversity and quantity of chemicals released into the environment has risen dramatically in the last few decades and this is causing serious concern about the possible adverse effects of mixtures of these multiple chemicals on human health. the effects of contaminants on wildlife have been studied for more than 30 years, since the publication of rachel carson's silent spring. my work over the last two decades has focused on the ability of environmental contaminants to mimic chemical messengers (hormones) and alter functioning of the reproductive and endocrine systems. my current research areas include exploring new methods and models with which to determine the safety of mixtures of industrial chemicals and understanding the role of exposure to these chemicals in the manifestation of effects in fish from individual to population levels. from a regulatory perspective, my work has been influential in the development of widespread controls on some chemicals and i am always keen to make sure that my research informs policy. i also have a passion for communication of scientific results and their interpretation to the lay public. career i completed my phd at brunel university (department of biological sciences) in 1991 and remained at brunel first as postdoctoral researcher (1995-1999) and then as a (tenured) research lecturer until 2002; after which i became a senior research fellow (100% research tenured post). from 2004, i set up and directed a consultancy which advises governments and industries on the risks posed by environmental chemicals. in 2010 i was promoted to professor.
