Sreelakshmi (Sree) Babu joined our team this month, with a fully funded PhD studentship from the EPSRC Centre for Doctorial Training in Water Infrastructure & Resilience (WIRe), sponsored by Northumbrian Water and Scottish Water. Her work will involve horizon scan of existing and potential wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) applications. Also, she will focus on sampling and hydraulic modelling of targeted sewer networks to pilot a general framework for future WBE. Prior to joining us, Sree was a lecturer at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani Dubai.
