Research interests

  • My current project forming the basis of my phd aims to improve our understanding of how pharmaceutical
  • pollutants are distributed throughout river catchments and the factors determining these observed patterns. This understanding will serve to develop a network-based representation of their transport, ultimately helping inform more tailored management practices by suggesting priority locations for interventions to limit the impact of pharmaceutical pollutants on river ecosystems.
