I'm a PhD student at the University of Exeter , studying the use of novel technologies to help detect mine-waste.
I have many interests, they include:
- Learn languages (natural & programming)
- Gaming, technology & random projects
- Keeping fit, including BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu)
- Spending time with my doggos, family and friends
Latest publication
![Picture of first published paper on macroalgae intake of mine waste](resources\Images/Macroalgae.png)
- • Three species of brown macroalgae were used to quantify mine drainage pollution.
- • These bioindicator species allowed high resolution mapping of pollutant dispersal.
- • Metals dispersed in the sea within 200m of the outflow source.
- • The macroalgae bioindicators indicated the change in AMD pollution over 30 years.
Current project: Prep for Philippine field campaign & website development.
