Our staff
Many years of experience inform both our research and the development of our postgraduate programmes ensuring that they are up-to-date and relevant for both the developing and developed world.
In this section you will find contact details, publications and other information regarding all members of staff affiliated with the Water Engineering and Development Centre. Staff are listed alphabetically by family name.
Sola's research interests range from waste-to-energy processes through to wastewater engineering, and WASH.
Huili's research is centred on the development of innovative methodologies that leverage satellite observations and high-performance modelling tools relating to disaster impacts and risks.
Ksenia's research focusses on the processes of urban disaster risk creation and systemic implications of sustainability and resilience in the context of neoliberalism.
Susie is an interdisciplinary researcher with international experience in sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene provision and disaster studies.
Sam's research ranges from services for the urban poor and policy and institutional framework for WASH services, through to cost-recovery and financial management systems.
Chris's research focuses on the dynamics of turbulent flows, as well as techniques for analysing nonlinear systems. He also has an interest in snow avalanche processes.
Qiuhua's research is focused on computational hydraulics and applications in disaster risk reduction and high-performance models to facilitate sustainable management of hydro systems.
Tim's research interests focus primarily on the application of numerical models and analysis methods in order to better understand the hydrodynamics of open channel flows.
Tanja is an internationally engaged academic with the vision of developing the sustainable, low-carbon water-food-energy nexus for a climate-resilient future.
Rod is a designer, illustrator and manager of WASH-related publications, media and communications, integrating emerging electronic technologies with conventional publishing practices.
Graham's research ranges from mathematical modelling of soil erosion and unsaturated flow of water through soils through to the mathematics of nonlinear diffusion-convection equations.
Rebeca's research addresses the provision of sustainable sanitation and water services to protect public health and environmental systems focussing on equitable access for the urban poor.
Sohail's research focus is on the provision of sustainable urban infrastructure to the poorest billion people through partnering – policy, planning, procurement, management and innovation.
