Water resources specialist combining hydrological, GIS and policy/governance expertise. Oxford MSc in Environment Change and Management; PhD (The Open University, 2026) on flood risk governance, comparing England and Uganda through a six-capacity resilience framework. Catchment practice: DEM-based catchment delineation and water source protection planning, and nature-based flood interventions (wetland restoration, riverbank buffer zones) delivered for Uganda's Ministry of Water and Environment under Green Climate Fund/Adaptation Fund programmes; authored ESIAs for water infrastructure projects (including a World Bank-financed scheme), reviewed against IFC/World Bank safeguard standards. Policy and economics: World Bank Water Global Practice (Latin America & Caribbean), co-leading Drought Risk and Resilience Assessment policy briefs and designing an impact methodology for a US$4.7M Caribbean water programme; earlier econometric OPEX benchmarking for Scottish Water (Ofwat/WICS methodology). Tools: Python, R, ArcGIS/QGIS. Currently seeking Topics 1-2 partners (UKRI-funded, NERC/EPSRC remit).
Topic 1. Integrated Monitoring and Assessment for Sustainable Water Management
Topic 2. Nature-Based Approaches for Resilient Water Management at Hydrological and Hydrogeological System Scale
Independent researcher seeking to join a Water4All JTC 2026 consortium on integrated catchment monitoring or nature-based river-basin restoration (Topics 1-2). I bring UK and Uganda-based experience in catchment GIS/DEM analysis, water source protection planning, and community-based nature-based flood interventions (wetland restoration, riverbank buffer zones), alongside international policy experience (World Bank drought risk assessments, UNEP freshwater governance). Funded via UKRI, work must sit within NERC/EPSRC remit. Available to contribute to a monitoring, GIS/data-integration, or nature-based restoration work package, and can support stakeholder engagement or policy-coherence framing within a Topics 1-2 proposal.
