معرفی
Brandon Winfrey is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Monash University's Faculty of Engineering. His research centers on ecological engineering, particularly in urban water management and green infrastructure systems.
- PhD in Environmental Science and Technology, University of Maryland, College Park (2012)
- MS in Environmental Engineering, Stanford University (2007)
- BS in Environmental Engineering, University of Oklahoma (2006)
His research interests include water sensitive urban design, stormwater biofiltration, mine drainage treatment, constructed wetlands, plant functional ecology, and ecosystem services. He investigates how plants and fungi enhance the performance of green stormwater infrastructure, with a focus on improving plant health and system resilience in urban environments.
His recent publications highlight trends in plant-microbe interactions in biofiltration systems, decision-making for faecal contamination monitoring, and functional trait-based plant selection in bioretention. These works span disciplines such as environmental engineering, urban ecology, and public health, reflecting an interdisciplinary approach to sustainable water management.
Brandon Winfrey is actively involved in research projects at Monash University, including initiatives on real-time stormwater wetland activation, health benefits of sustainable water management in informal settlements, and metal recovery from polluted rivers ('Water Mining').
He serves as a Chief Investigator on multiple externally and internally funded projects, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams across engineering, environmental science, and public health. His work contributes to several UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those related to clean water, sustainable cities, and environmental protection.
Dr. Winfrey is currently accepting PhD students and continues to expand his research in ecological engineering and urban water cycle management.
