I am a Biochemical Engineer and have been a Fellow of the Institution of Chemical Engineers, with over 35 years’ experience in R&D led work in food processing, waste management, energy and environmental consultancy. I have given evidence to the UK Government's committee on Science & Technology and have undertaken many overseas assignments related to cleaner production, waste management and environmental management in Europe, China, India and other parts of Asia. I am currently assessing and monitoring RD&C projects on behalf of Innovate UK and so familiar with designing, proposal writing and managing multi-disciplinary projects.

Education projects that involve values, ethics and the environment.

I have always been interested in values and ethics and am spending a great deal of time expressing them in a way that could be used rationally in self exploration. I am also a maths tutor.

In my second year of work at Harwell Atomic Energy Research Laboratory, I discovered a prime cause of inefficiency in Liquid-Liquid extraction systems applied in nuclear fuel reprocessing. The discovery was made by chance when I saw a time lapsed characteristics of the misting in solution that was recorded on a laser particle sizer, automatically, as I had forgotten to switch it off during the lunch break!
