Biography

In 2009, I joined the University of Cambridge as MPhil student in Engineering for Sustainable Development. During the year I mainly focused on sustainable applications for the developing world. After the MPhil, I worked as consultant for the UN – International Fund for Agricultural Development as Water Management specialist, working on small-scale irrigation and water development projects in India, Bangladesh and Ethiopia. I re-joined the Centre for Sustainable Development in 2012 as PhD student. My research focuses on resource (i.e. nutrients, water and energy) recovery and reuse in agriculture for low-income countries and from the perspective of business models. The main aim of the research is to understand the environmental/health risks of RR&R and necessary mitigation strategies. The research is part of a joint IWMI/WHO research project.
