Research

Thematically, we are interested in the drivers and barriers to safely manage human waste, organic waste and anthropogenic waste.

Methodologically, we rely on the fundamental tools of engineering to develop and optimize technology, social science to understand the perceptions and behaviours of populations regarding interventions, and economics to determine financial feasibility and user acceptance.

Cross-cutting all of our work are three core principles: How and why failure has occurred in the past is the foundation of our decision to develop or not develop something new; by adopting open science principles, we are committed to ensuring that our research is reproducible, transparent and reusable for the greatest possible impact. Most importantly, we acknowledge the historical inequalities of international research and strive to understand, implement, and contribute to the decolonization of Global Health Engineering in all of our work.
