Alex is Principal Investigator (PI) for the SmART Cities & Waste Research Network. Alex and Graeme are also both Co-Is on a 3-year AHRC-funded Connected Communities project: Towards Hydrocitizenship (www.hydrocitizenship.com) www.bangor.ac.uk/so/staff/plows_research.php.en Dr Lian Lundy Professor of Environmental Science in the Urban Pollution Research Centre. Her research has focused on sustainable stormwater management, the transport and behaviour of urban pollutants and the use of multi-criteria analysis and decision support tools at a national and international level. Recent research has applied an ecosystem approach within an urban context and begun to consider the use of sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) as multifunctional ecosystem service providers within the context of water sensitive cities.www.mdx.ac.uk/about-us/our people/staff-directory/profile/lundy-lian Dr Diane Purchase Diane Purchase is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Science & Technology at Middlesex University. She is also the Honorary Secretary of the Committee of Heads of Environmental Sciences and a Fellow of the Institution of Environmental Sciences in the UK. Her keen interest in the environment has led to her chairing a task group funded by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) to examine the environmental and health challenges of E-waste. She has organised a satellite workshop on this topic in the 15th International Conference on Chemistry and the Environment (ICCE) in Leipzig in 2015, and will be cochair a session on ‘Contaminant Issues in the Waste Stream’ in the 16th ICCE in Oslo in June 2017. She is also organising a symposium on e-waste in the 47th World Chemistry Congress in July 2017 in São Paulo. www.mdx.ac.uk/aboutus/our-people/staff-directory/profile/purchase-diane Dr James Baker James is an expert in biomining - the extraction of metals/trace elements from waste streams – and is Project coordinator of the Selor EEIG project under the EU Copernicus programme. He has been International Project Manager at TNO International and Rijks Geologische Dienst. Dr Kim Trogal Kim joined the University for the Creative Arts (UCA) School of Architecture in Autumn 2016 as Lecturer Architecture History & Theory. She completed her architectural studies at the University of Sheffield, including a PhD in Architecture (2012) for which she was awarded the RIBA LKE Ozolins Studentship. Prior to joining the school, Kim was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Central St Martins, University of the Arts London (2014-16) and a Postdoc Research Assistant (2012-15) at the Sheffield School of Architecture for the school’s Building Local Resilience Research Platform. Kim is co-editor, with Professor Doina Petrescu, of the book ‘The Social (Re)Production of Architecture’. www.uca.ac.uk/staff-profiles/kim-trogal/ Barbara Herridge External Relations Manager, North London Waste Authority Dimitra Rappou Dimitra is the Waste Prevention Manager at North London Waste Authority where she is in charge of devising and developing north London’s waste prevention programme, leading the NLWA waste prevention team and working in partnership with the north London councils on waste prevention, reduction and reuse projects. Her academic qualifications include Bachelor of Science from Aristotle University in Forestry and Environmental Science, Master of Science in Environmental Science from University of Stirling and Master of Science in Business Management of Waste and Resources from Anglia Ruskin University, where she focused her research on European waste prevention policy. Dimitra obtained experience in waste management through previous employment in the London Boroughs of Camden and Haringey, where she devised education and outreach programmes, as well as her employment as Senior Campaign Officer for sustainability Charity ‘Waste Watch’. Throughout her career she managed a range of behavioural change and education projects and worked closely with the community and voluntary sector. www.londonwaste.co.uk/community/serving-thecommunity Lara Luna Bartley As a materials-led artist and maker working primarily with found materials, I forage, gather and reuse everything from cardboard to pallets and wooden fruit boxes. I am driven by a desire to celebrate the overlooked, for instance printing the utilitarian symbols I collect from packaging, onto the other materials on which they are commonly printed. My work combines elements of design, paper engineering, fine art and construction, and is made available through limited editions, as well as informal interventions in the urban environment. www.laralunabartley.com Kuniko Maeda Studied traditional wood carving in Kyoto and following BA and MA degrees in textile design at Chelsea College of Arts, she is currently studying for a MA Fine Art at Middlesex University. Her interest in material lifecycle and sustainability resulted in the use of recycled paper, which then became the leading concern of studio practice. “By exploring the relationship between Japanese philosophy and craft techniques I found a clue in how to re-evaluate the use of materials and explore the underestimated beauty of everyday materials and waste”. Kuniko is a Lexus Design Award 2017 Panel Finalist and has presented her work at the Milan Design Fair. www.kuniko-maeda.com Alison Harper Alison is a textile artist who, having completed an MA at Bath School of Art and Design, Bath Spa University, decided to continue her research by means of a PhD with practice, which she is just completing. The working title for this project was From materialism to materiality; how can my textile art and my textile craft processes contribute to an ethical dialogue through an emerging materiality? Her work is concerned with the use and mis-use of resources; who and what decides our relationships with materials and matter? How can this relationship be altered and improved to be less harmful both to the wider biosphere and to us as humans? Nathalie Gilbert Project Manager for INCATCH, a Horizon2020 Innovation funded development project focusing on smart rivers and lakes (www.intcatch.eu). We are 20 partners from academic industrial and engineering institutes from across the EU who are developing low-cost, use-friendly automated / radio controlled smart boats fitted with sensors for monitoring water quality. This will enable monitoring to be undertaken by a wide range of stakeholders, not just trained experts. The boats will be linked to cloud-based data storage and a decision support system that will evaluate catchment and water quality data to help users make robust evidencebased decisions for improved catchment management. We will also produce a range of data interpretation apps aimed at both high level catchment managers and citizen scientists We will also be investigating detections and mitigation techniques for combined sewage overflows. London’s urban rivers are one of the 4 demonstration sites (the others being Lake Guarda in Italy, The River Ter in Spain, The River Ouse in Cambridgeshire and Lake Yliki in Greece). Open water trials will begin in London in September 2017.
