Anna Bogush

Dr. Anna Bogush is an Associate Professor at the Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience, Coventry University. Her research focuses on interdisciplinary environmental science, including the fate of emerging pollutants like microplastics, metals, and pharmaceuticals in natural systems. She develops sustainable technologies rooted in circular economy principles and employs advanced analytical techniques such as synchrotron XAS, CT-scans, and spectroscopy to study material properties. Key projects include microplastic pollution mitigation, wastewater treatment plant emissions, and sustainable packaging solutions. She collaborates globally on UN SDG-aligned initiatives and has contributed to over 70 peer-reviewed publications. Awards include a Royal Academy of Engineering case study recognition and best conference presentation honors. Bogush actively advises PhD students and leads projects on pollution reduction, citizen science, and biochar applications.

Her expertise spans environmental engineering, geochemistry, and material science. Notable research includes investigating PFAS aerosolization from wastewater, microplastic transport mechanisms, and the impact of ecolabels on consumer behavior. She has pioneered novel methods for microplastic analysis and collaborated on policy recommendations for medical waste management. Bogush’s work bridges academia and industry, emphasizing real-world applications of circular economy concepts.
