Biography
Phil has a PhD in Innovation & Technology Assessment, and a degree in Design and Technology and B.Ed. (Hons). On completion of his doctoral studies hedeveloped a programme of research studies assessing the impact of waste management on air quality and neighbouring communities. He adapted measurement and assessment methods from meteorology and agricultural applications to predict the impact of landfill operations on households. Information from these methods were used to inform operators on options for improvement, advise on the potential impacts and opportunities for the control of operations for planning applications, and assess the potential for new methods of operational control and regulation.
