Ana Singh serves as an Associate Lecturer in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Mining Engineering at the School of Engineering, The University of Western Australia, while also contributing to multi-disciplinary education through Casual Teaching roles in the School of Agriculture and Environment and the Centre for Water and Spatial Science.
Her research integrates environmental hydrology and plant biotechnology, with core expertise in nutrient dynamics within urban stream ecosystems and tissue culture applications for medicinal crops. She investigates how vegetation structures and bank morphologies influence nutrient retention during high-flow events, while simultaneously developing propagation protocols for economically valuable spice and condiment plants through advanced tissue culture techniques.
Analysis of her 2017-2024 publications reveals dual research trajectories: hydrological studies focus on spatial-temporal nutrient uptake patterns and hotspot identification in urban waterways, while biotechnology work advances mass propagation methods for medicinal plants. Both streams emphasize sustainable resource management but operate in distinct methodological frameworks—field-based environmental monitoring versus laboratory tissue culture systems.
Research Funding:
- CRC TiME F3.1.5 Barriers to reducing acid and metalliferous drainage risk: what, where and why? (Jan 2021-Sep 2021): Served as Investigator 02 in this Cooperative Research Centre for Transformations in Mining Economies project, which generated policy-relevant insights on drainage risk mitigation and achieved 21 Mendeley readers.
As an active member of UWA's Centre for Water and Spatial Science, Singh leverages interdisciplinary collaborations to bridge engineering solutions with ecological principles, particularly in developing spatial analysis frameworks for water quality management and sustainable agricultural biotechnology applications.
