Tanja Radu

Senior Lecturer in Water Engineering, Loughborough University

Senior Lecturer in Water Engineering, Loughborough University I am a Lecturer in Water Engineering, with more than 15 years of international experience in water and environmental engineering. My main research interests include waste water treatment, renewable energy from waste and supplying energy for rural communities in developing countries. Currently, I am focusing on the process of biogas generation from waste using the technology of anaerobic digestion. I am involved in a range of international projects providing small-scale, decentralized sustainable energy generation. This includes international research projects (please see below). In addition, I have broad experience in studying heavy metal transport phenomena. For example, I am involved in research of mercury phytoremediation and removal, and its effect on the biological systems. My research collaborators include academics and industries from the UK, Thailand, India, Bahrain, and across Europe.
