Anthony Umeh

Anthony Umeh is a Researcher at the University of Newcastle's Global Centre for Environmental Remediation (GCER), affiliated with Professor Ravi Naidu's group. His work focuses on contaminant bioavailability, environmental risk assessment, and remediation technologies.

• MSc in Contamination, Risk Assessment, and Remediation from Lancaster University
• BSc in Zoology from Obafemi Awolowo University

His research explores how soil-contaminant-organism interactions influence human health and environmental risks, particularly for PAHs and PFAS. He specializes in bioaccessibility testing, contaminant transport modeling, and remediation catalysts like biochar.

Anthony's publications emphasize PFAS and PAHs dynamics in soils, with trends showing a focus on:

• Adsorbent suspension remediation of multicomponent systems
• Machine learning applications in contaminant analysis
• Sorption-desorption kinetics in varied soil conditions
• Human exposure risk modeling

Awarded the CleanUp 2015 Conference Award (2016), NERC Funding (2014), and multiple scholarships including Chancellor's International PhD Scholarship (2015) and Erasmus Mundus Scholarship (2013).

His grants include CRC CARE PhD Scholarship and Commonwealth Shared Scholarship. Anthony contributes to advanced oxidation processes, groundwater remediation, and contaminant transport studies.

He works at GCER, a leading research center in environmental remediation technologies.
