Biography
Christian has completed his D.Phil which was aimed at improving the availability of more sustainable desalination solutions in medium- and low-income countries. He is now a postdoctoral researcher in the Engineering Science department. He focuses on aqua-mining for a circular economy by using functional polymers to selectively extract valuable metals from wastewater.
