Water, foods, environment & maths research group

This research group encompasses several disciplines collaborating to achieve environmentally sound solutions through scientific and technological advancements.

By applying scientific, engineering, and mathematical expertise, we address the challenges of sustainable food systems, packaging, supply chains, water treatment, and more, as they relate to both industrialised and developing nations.

Our specialised equipment and facilities allow for practical research collaborations and testing for the industry.
