Assessment of microbial community and antimicrobial resistance associated with microplastics in organic-waste and development of smart monitoring technologies for microplastics
Plastic pollution and in particular microplastics (< 5 mm) are a major problem across the globe, affecting oceans, freshwater, soil and organisms but also found in human blood, food and livestock. Read more

Microplastic contamination of natural soils studied by computer simulation
Background. Contamination by microscopic plastic particles (microplastics) has become one of the foremost issues for the global environment. Read more
Effects of Aquatic Vegetation on the Transport of Plastics in Rivers
Plastic contamination is an escalating environmental problem. Of particular significance are those pieces that are smaller than 5 mm in size, more commonly referred to as microplastics. Read more
SCENARIO: Mitigating greenhouse gas releases from contaminated urban re-development sites (SC2023_25)
Background. The construction industry is a major contributor to global carbon emissions and urgently needs to address this to reduce its carbon emissions. Read more
Engineering of artificial turf sports surfaces
The use of artificial turf pitches (ATP) is growing worldwide including at the elite level in sports such as association football, hockey and rugby football. Read more
Discovery and Development of Biocatalytic Solutions to Mitigate Microplastic Pollution
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
Plastic contamination is a great ecological disaster facing modern society; a burden overwhelmingly heaped on the least economically developed countries. Read more
From trash to treasure – the use of waste biomass to produce biopolymers coatings for seed protection
Currently, millions of people worldwide, suffer from both food insecurity and hunger. To address these issues, new strategies for more sustainable approach to agricultural practices are required. Read more
Investigating the cardio-pulmonary impact of airborne nanoplastics
There is growing evidence that humans are exposed to incidental microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPL) particles through inhalation and that the small size of these particles may allow for bioaccumulation and retention in the body. Read more
Development of materials for environmental monitoring and remediation
A healthy environment brings enormous benefits, however, our current lifestyle causes continuous release of a broad range of harmful contaminants. Read more
Exploring the impact of microplastic-bacterial complexes on animal health and the gut microbiome
Plastic pollution is a global issue and rapidly emerging as a crisis for both environmental and human health. Read more
