Biography
Stuart joined Cranfield University in 2009 and is currently a Lecturer in Renewable Energy from Waste. He has a degree in Chemistry, which was followed up with a PhD from Cranfield University in Environmental Chemistry. He is a Chartered Chemist [CChem], a member of the Royal Society of Chemistry [RSC]. He was a member of the Environmental Chemistry Group committee for the Royal Society of Chemistry from 2012-2014, during which time he organised 2x annual 'Distinguished Guest Lecturer' symposia on the topics of rare earth elements and plastics in the marine environment. Stuart has interests in the properties of solid waste materials, which range from household waste to commercial and industrial wastes, and has significant expertise in the properties and characterisation of waste materials. He has previously specialised in the measurement of the biodegradable content of organic waste and was involved in the development of a rapid biodegradability test method at Cranfield University.
Research Interest
Dr. Stuart has interests in the properties of solid waste materials, such as the composition, recovery of resources, the energy potential of UK waste streams and enhanced landfill mining.
