My method for detecting toxic arsenic in drinking water reduces hardware costs from $10,000 USD to just $350 USD . The method is currently used by the USA/Mexican NGO Caminos de Agua .
I developed a new method for analysing the different oxidation states of arsenic using a novel organic-metallic material, patented by my research group. This method was validated when I led a field work campaign in West Bengal, India, as published by the International Water Association . A full list of research publications can be found on Google Scholar .
I founded the start-up company Untap . Untap are detecting diseases in the wastewater of offices and carehomes, to advise facilities managers and pastoral carers when it is safe to relax precautions and when further action is needed. This venture has secured £160k pre-seed investment and is supported by a £60k grant from the UK government (Innovate UK Smart Grant). We recently exhibited at the Workplace Event in the NEC, Birmingham.
