 Environmental and industrial applications
Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO)
Australia
Undertaking research focused on the use of microorganisms and biotechnological processes for environmental and industrial applications in the mining, water supply and wastewater treatment industries. Research topics within the group have included bioleaching of metals from minerals and metal containing waste materials, biological oxidation of iron, removal and recovery of metals from mine and process waters, wastewater treatment and resource recovery, drinking water and stormwater microbiology, biofouling and biocorrosion, development of biofilm sensors, bioremediation of contaminated sites, molecular detection and monitoring of microbial communities in natural and engineered environments, and isolation and description of novel microorganisms.Currently completing a postdoctoral fellowship in the recovery of valuable metals from e-waste, specifically spent battery waste.
