Professor - School of Food and Advanced Technology
My research bridges the frontiers of environmental microbiology (study of microorganisms and microbial communities) and environmental biotechnology (design, modelling and scale-up of environmental bioprocesses). I currently focus on the characterisation and modelling of the environmental impacts of wastewater biological treatment and bio-energy production with special emphasis on algae-based bioprocesses.

My research interests are in modelling the mechanics of structures. My PhD research undertaken at the University of Waikato, was on buckling and post-buckling of corrugated paperboard structures. In my current role as Postdoctoral Researcher at Massey University, I am developing models to optimise the design of corrugated fibreboard packaging.
