He has led projects on antibiotic resistance in India, combined sewer overflow impacts, and participatory approaches to water management. His work emphasizes systems thinking and policy design for environmental and socio-economic resilience.

Key Projects:

• NERC-funded AMR Burden Study (2019–2023): Investigated AMR contamination from pharmaceutical waste in India.
• Anglian Water Projects (2018–2023): Analyzed urban water infrastructure vulnerabilities and overflow risks.
• GLOBAQUA (EU 7th FP): Addressed water scarcity and policy adaptation in Mediterranean regions.

Grants & Collaborations: His work has been supported by NERC, Anglian Water, and the EU. He collaborates with institutions like ESA and engages in stakeholder-driven policy frameworks.
