Steve Coupe is an Associate Professor at Coventry University working with the Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience. His academic profile demonstrates extensive research activity spanning over two decades, with 80 research outputs and 12 major projects to his credit. His work focuses on environmental sustainability, particularly in urban contexts, with strong emphasis on water management and sustainable infrastructure.
Dr. Coupe's research interests encompass Ecology, Sustainability, Applied microbiology, Oil and gas management, and Environmental sciences. His work frequently intersects with urban planning, sustainable drainage systems, and environmental remediation techniques. He has established significant expertise in green infrastructure, particularly blue-green roof systems, and sustainable urban drainage solutions. His research also explores innovative approaches to soil remediation, particularly phytoremediation techniques using plants like Helianthus annuus and Brassica juncea for contaminated soils.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent focus on sustainable urban infrastructure development. His work examines the environmental performance of innovative materials like rubber-modified asphalt, photocatalytic water treatment systems, and multi-functional green roof installations. These studies demonstrate his commitment to practical, evidence-based solutions for urban environmental challenges, particularly those related to water management and pollution control.
Among his notable achievements is the HORIZON 2020 award for 'Soil moisture supply and green roof plant requirements incorporating drainage and energy functions' received in 2023. This prestigious recognition highlights the significance of his contributions to sustainable urban infrastructure research.
Dr. Coupe has served as Principal Investigator on multiple significant research projects including the HORIZON 2020 project and 'The Phytoremediation Abilities of Helianthus annuus and Brassica juncea in Spent Engine Oil and Mine Spoils Co-Contaminated Soils.' His collaborative approach is evident through his involvement in international projects such as EU ATMO-TNA initiatives investigating aerosol dynamics and pollutant interactions. He has also contributed to practical environmental initiatives including the Coventry Canal Plastics Survey and various sustainable water management workshops.
His research network demonstrates extensive collaboration across institutions and disciplines, particularly in the areas of sustainable water management and environmental remediation. Current projects include investigations into 'forever chemicals' (GenX compounds) and aerosol formation from contaminated waters, reflecting his ongoing commitment to addressing emerging environmental challenges.
