“The project supports the sustainable development goals and is another great example of the Scottish Governments Hydro Nation Agenda in action.” Technology used on early space missions is being revived by two Fife companies to provide clean water for 100,000 people in Pakistan, with help from the James Hutton Institute and National University of Science and Technology in Islamabad. The original Electro Chemical Activated Solutions technology was developed to create a cleaner for solar panels on Soviet space craft 40 years ago, and is now being used by ADVES Water Ltd and Bridge Technologies to

My PhD research was on HIV/AIDS Epidemic Models, conducted at Glasgow University between November 2005 and Feb 2009. My research interests are in the application of statistical methods to epidemiology and environmental sciences. I am particularly interested in spatial epidemiology covering the study of spatial patterns of disease risks and taking into account spatial-specific risk factors. I am also interested in multilevel analysis and changes in disease risks through space and time.
I originally trained as a vet, but was less interested in treating individual animals, than in improving animal health and welfare in the population as a whole. I therefore moved sideways into veterinary epidemiology. In my present role I use a number of statistical and modelling techniques to make inferences from animal test and disease data, and determine the effect of various test and control strategies. In a previous EPIC project, I have looked at data on E. coli O157 in calves, liver fluke in cattle, Bovine Viral Diarrhoea (BVD), sheep scab and bovine TB. In the future I will be looking
My research focuses on animal-human relations and wellbeing as they are constituted together with particular environments. A key aim of this work is to understand how the joint practices and behaviours of people and animals influence - and are influenced by – the production of knowledge, health and governance arrangements. The related SEFARI work I lead on spans livestock production (e.g. biosecurity and how animal disease is understood and controlled), conservation at a community-scale (e.g. managing recreational conflicts to reconcile the wellbeing of local people and protected species) and
