Professor Stentiford is a leading expert in the fields of composting and effective waste management. His extensive research includes examination of the practical application of composting at scale and the effective management of wastes in developing country environments. For further information see his web page. |

John Barton is a leading researcher in the fields of solid waste management. His main research interests are in waste recovery techniques and the associated policy and decision making processes in waste management using life cycle analysis and multi criteria decision analysis tools. Technical aspects covered include analysis and prediction of waste composition and arisings and the design, performance monitoring /evaluation of waste collection & transfer, recycling and residual/mixed waste treatment systems (MRF, MBT, Autoclave, SRF combustion/incineration and gasification processes) J.R.Barton@leeds.ac.uk , +44 (0) 113 343 2278 |

Dr. L Fletcher Dr Fletcher's research interests encompass a range of different areas within the fields of microbiology and aerobiology. At present her research is primarily focused on the field of aerobiology with particular emphasis on the control of pathogens in clinical environments. Dr Fletcher is also interested in the aerobiological aspects of waste treatment and disposal with the focus being the generation and dispersal of bacterial and fungal pathogens during composting.

Andy Sleigh has worked on a wide range of numerical modelling and solution techniques for engineering problems. In particular he has developed multigrid acceleration techniques for incompressible flow solutions and Riemann solver based programs for rapidly changing open channel flows with complex topography. This latter work forms one of his main lines of current research. Other major research interests are in the area of computational modelling of waste water treatment systems including fluidised bed biofilm-reactors and waste stabilsation ponds.
