sustainability week

About the event

Billions of people around the world lack adequate access to one of the essential elements of life: clean water. In this panel event we discover a variety of different research solutions that are being developed at Imperial from a range of departments across college. From environmental management and public policy, the development of sensors for water quality assurance and the implementation of nature-based technologies in city designs we discover from our panellists potential solutions to the global challenge of providing clean water.

Panel

  • Dr Stanislava Boskovic, Research Associate, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Stanislava’s research is on water modelling and large-scale planning and the implementation of nature-based technologies in city designs.
  • Professor Tony Cass, Professor or Chemistry, Department of Chemistry. Tony has founded two companies Bio Nano Consulting Ltd., and AquAffirm that develops sensors for water quality assurance.
  • Professor Nick Voulvoulis, Professor of Environmental Technology, Centre for Environmental Policy. Nick’s research includes environmental management and public policy.
  • Dr Helena Rapp Wright, (Chair) Research Associate, School of Public Health. Helena’s research looks at wastewater analysis focussing on contaminants of emerging concern
