Professor Bruce Jefferson is a Professor of Water Engineering at Cranfield University's Water Science Institute. He holds visiting positions at RMIT and the University of New South Wales in Australia. With a BEng and PhD from Loughborough University, he joined Cranfield in 1997, progressing through roles including Senior Research Fellow (2003) and Senior Lecturer (2006). His research focuses on optimizing water and wastewater treatment technologies, particularly resource recovery, anaerobic processes, and advanced oxidation. Key interests include low-energy nutrient removal, control of NOM and algae, and sustainable water production techniques like slow sand filter skimming.
Education: BEng (Chemical Engineering) and PhD from Loughborough University.
Research spans innovative treatment methods, such as microbubble applications in ozonation and coagulation strategies for PFAS removal. He collaborates with major water utilities (e.g., Anglian Water, Thames Water) and agencies like the EPA. Current projects include NextGen circular water solutions, pollution resilience in rivers, and phosphorus removal via wetlands. Advises six doctoral students and oversees research teams at Cranfield's Water Institute.
Labs/Teams: Cranfield Water Science Institute, leading research groups in wastewater treatment, resource recovery, and environmental engineering.
