Professor Frederic Coulon holds a Chair in Environmental Chemistry & Microbiology at Cranfield University (UK) and leading the Environmental Biotechnology Innovation Centre (EBIC) focusing on engineering biology applications for environmental solutions. His research achievements address international priorities under the umbrella of the Water-Soil-Waste nexus across sectors and scales.
His work is premised on the understanding that environmental resources are inextricably intertwined and therefore there is a need of advancing a nexus approach to enable integrated and sustainable management of water, soil and waste systems.
His research further influenced policy development, waste disposal strategies and provided pragmatic, risk-based solutions for the management of contaminated environments.
