Autorenporträt
Dr Ilan Adler is an associate professor in environmental engineering at University College London (UCL) as well as a Royal Academy of Engineering Industry Fellow. He is also the CEO and founder of EcoNomad Solutions, an enterprise dedicated to improving local conditions for farmers and rural communities through appropriate eco-technologies, such as waste-to-energy systems, among others. He founded the International Renewable Resources Institute (IRRI-Mexico) in 2002, an NGO initially dedicated the dissemination of rainwater harvesting (RWH) in both rural and urban settings. He also sits on the Board of a number of organisations dedicated to the promotion and advancement of RWH, including Tatirano Social Enterprises (Madagascar) and Caminos de Agua (Mexico). He has conducted abundant research on the quality and modelling of RWH, with projects ranging from rural schools to high-rise buildings. Dr Kemi Adeyeye is Associate Professor and Researcher at the Centre for Regenerative Design & Engineering for a Net Positive World (RENEW), the University of Bath. She specialises in multifactorial, multidisciplinary research using socio-technical methods. She has an established international profile in research at the crossroads of resource efficiency and resilience, investigating linkages between place, time, people, technology, and policy. As PI or Co-I, she has undertaken many situated studies in developed and developing countries, in formal and informal contexts. She was a Leverhulme Research Fellow and led a DEFRA-funded collaborative network for over a decade. She is Co-Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Architectural Engineering and Design management. Dr Aisha Bello-Dambatta is an interdisciplinary researcher in water science and engineering. Her current research is broadly focused on the related areas of integrated water resources management, climate change impacts on land and water resources and water-energy-food-environment nexus. She has worked on several large-scale, international interdisciplinary collaborative research projects, including the EU-funded cross-border D¿r Uisce water-energy nexus project, which worked to improve the energy performance of the water sectors in Ireland and Wales, as well as developing policy and best practice guidelines to facilitate the implementation of integrated low-carbon and smart energy solutions. She currently lectures in water sciences at University College London (UCL). Dr Berill Takacs is an interdisciplinary researcher who is passionate about the environment and sustainable living and lifestyles. Her research interests lie in advancing interdisciplinary research in the fields of sustainable development, circular economy and sustainable consumption. With expertise in life cycle assessment (LCA), she has worked on projects modelling water-food-energy nexus and contributed to the development of tools assessing the environmental impacts and water footprint of food, meals and food loss and waste. Her current research focuses on environmental nutrition, with the aim of designing healthy and sustainable food systems that prioritise the well-being of humans, other species and the planet.
