Research Areas

Six focus areas spanning the science, engineering and translation of next-generation sanitation.

Next generation sanitation technologies

Developing and refining technologies that redefine how sanitation is delivered in non-sewered contexts.

Resource recovery from sanitation

Turning waste streams into valuable resources - nutrients, energy and water - for a circular economy.

Microbial fuel cells and energy recovery

Harnessing bioelectrochemical systems to recover energy while treating wastewater.

Constructed Wetlands

Nature-based treatment systems engineered for effective, low-cost wastewater purification.

Biosolids reuse applications

Safe, beneficial reuse of treated biosolids in agriculture and land restoration.

Thermal technologies for sludge management

Thermal drying, pyrolysis and combustion approaches for sustainable sludge handling.
