- Climate-resilient water infrastructure
- Schistosomiasis and disease ecology
- Integrated water resources management
- Behavior change and stakeholder engagement
- Equity and policy communication in WASH
Dr. Sule’s recent publications reflect a strong trend in interdisciplinary research, combining environmental science, public health, and systems thinking to address urban WASH failures in Sub-Saharan Africa, groundwater risks in East Africa, and innovative behavior change strategies for disease control. Her work frequently employs systematic reviews, qualitative studies, and field-based interventions.
Her scientific contributions are supported by active grant funding from NERC/UKRI, EPSRC, and Cranfield University, with projects focused on schistosomiasis control, vermifilter toilets, and integrated water policy. She mentors research students and supports postdoctoral fellowship applications.
She has held prior research roles at Imperial College London and the University of Oxford on DFID, GCRF, and FCDO-funded programs. She holds a PhD in Environmental Engineering from Imperial College London.
Dr. Sule is actively involved in:
- Supervising PhD and MRes students
- Leading the Planetary Health and Public Health modules
- Collaborating with international partners (Stanford, Swiss TPH, African institutions)
- Communicating science via blog, Twitter, and public engagement
