I am a Professor of Structural Biology and the Director for the newly-established Centre for Enzyme Innovation (CEI) at the University of Portsmouth. With a strong background in the discovery and engineering of enzymes for the depolymerisation of lignocellulose plant biomass, we have turned our attention to the global challenge of man-made plastic polymers for bio-based recycling and upcycling applications. My technical expertise is in protein biophysics with a focus on structural biology. I employ a range of hydrodynamic and spectroscopic methods in parallel with X-ray crystallography to reveal the detailed mechanisms of enzyme function. I am keen to embrace the development of synchrotron X-ray techniques and work closely with colleagues at the Diamond Light Source. My group works with a range of complementary techniques including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and electron microscopy, and we are particularly excited about the new opportunities coming online with free electron lasers such as the European XFEL. We are interested in understanding enzyme function at the atomic level, and through the CEI, we work with a host of superb international collaborators from academic laboratories, institutes and industry. Locally, I work closely with Dr Andy Pickford, Prof Anastasia Callaghan and Prof Simon Cragg, co-supervising multiple PhD studentships. I have strong research collaborations with Dr Gregg Beckham at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Colorado, Prof Ellen Neidle (University of Georgia), Prof Jen Dubois (Montana University) and Prof Henry Woodcock (University of South Florida). Recent highlights from our team include the characterisation and engineering of an enzyme, PETase, that can digest polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a common plastic found in single-use plastic bottles and clothing (Austin et al. 2018). The associated paper reached the Altmetric top 100 for 2018 and was widely covered in the media.

I am a Professor of Economics in the Faculty of Business and Law and Director of the Centre for Blue Governance.

I specialise in development economics, particularly environmental or ecological economics. I explore the interfaces between the use of natural resources and the development of countries. My particular area of expertise is the 'Blue Economy' 鈥� the sustainable use of oceans and coastlines for economic growth while preserving the health of ecosystems.

I investigate how developing countries can benefit from the use of natural resources in a sustainable way, and, importantly, how to place a monetary value on the protection of the natural environment. My research helps countries to develop sustainably. It informs the implementation of policies that favour environmental protection while providing economic and social benefits.

I coordinate complex research projects with multidisciplinary teams in Europe, Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and the Pacific region, working in collaboration with national research institutions, universities and policy makers.

I've coordinated 40 international research and development programmes in the following areas:

Marine and coastal biodiversity and ecosystem services
Marine protected areas, including ecosystem valuation and payment for environmental services
Climate change
Ocean and coastal zone policy and governance
International and regional fish trade
Poverty and food security
I support many organisations to develop their strategies for the use of oceans and the coast. I coordinated Blue Economy Strategies for the African Union, the Intergovernmental Authority for Development (IGAD), the Government of Bangladesh and the Government of Seychelles. I also coordinated the Regional Action Plan for the Blue Economy of the Indian Ocean Commission.

I've authored or co-authored over 350 journal articles, book chapters, research reports, consultancy reports, media reports, conference papers and proceedings. I'm a reviewer for many scientific journals. 

I'm a scientific evaluator for several research councils in the UK, Europe, North America, Africa and Asia.

I am an Argentinean born British citizen. I have a BSc in Engineering from the University of La Plata (Argentina), an MBA from Royal Holloway University of London and a Phd in Management from Royal Holloway.  Before my academic career, I worked for the Inter-American Development Bank and the Ministry of Public Works in Argentina.

I enjoy working on Hydrogen energy, energy storage & carbon capture technologies. I have industrial experience to apply the principles of thermodynamics, computational fluid dynamics, electro-chemistry, heat & mass transfer, and system integration over the past 17 years at my own companies.

I have worked on hydrogen production from water, hydrogen fuel cells, gas compression, biogas production, biogas upgrading into bio-methane, capturing Carbon di Oxide from various sources using water scrubbing, and pressure swing absorption methods. I have experience on high pressure storage of hydrogen and bio-natural gas (Bio-CNG). I have studied the super critical fluid properties of CO2 at high pressure.

While developing fuel cell and electrolyser technologies at my own companies I have gained experience on mathematical modelling of fluid flow through very thin channels and fine pores for designing of bipolar plates and electrodes. This helped my understanding of the characteristics of gas bubble movement, capillary action, fluid viscosity and rheology under various temperatures and pressures. I have developed catalyst ink for electrodes using solvent, carbon powder, metal-catalyst, binders etc.

I have two international patents granted on electrolyser for hydrogen production as the sole inventor and owner. 

Education:

My first degree was in Civil Engineering with specialisation on Environmental Engineering (1990-1994) from India. I then took my Masters Degree on Energy Engineering from India which gave me an exposure to both conventional and non-conventional energy systems (1999-2001). I then completed my PhD (2002-2006) on electrolysers for hydrogen production from water and hydrogen fuel cells from Loughborough University, UK at the Centre of Renewable Energy Systems Technology (CREST), Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. I have also completed my MBA from Surrey University Business Schools, UK in 2015.

I currently lead on the Innovation portfolio for the Faculty of Technology. I am currently PI (UoP) for a 拢3.5M Research England funded project Clean Growth UK and a recently completed Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund project - 'Energy Autonomous Community'.

Clean Growth UK is a national Innovation Network for Universities and Business working together to innovate for a low carbon economy. This project links university expertise to SME innovators and connects them to large public and private sector organisations via challenge led innovation events and demonstration projects.

I also recently acted as Co-I on a Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) green Infrastructure project on SUDS adoption by developers and impact on home owners (PROSuDS), and is a member of the NERC advisory network.

I am vice-chair of Future South, a business-led triple helix partnership that is working towards a low carbon economy in the South of England. This includes businesses such as Southern Water, IBM and Southern and Scottish Electricity Networks. Together they have created over 250 clean growth jobs, helped to establish the Hampshire community bank, worked with over 150 businesses on low carbon innovation projects, and created Greentech South - an innovation and technology cluster and the first 'Energy and Environment' accredited cluster in the UK, and member a of the International Cleantech Network. 

I served as Environment and Health science coordinator from 2012 to 2016 for two RCUK research programmes: Environmental Exposure and Health Initiative (EEHI) and Environmental & Social Ecology of Human Infectious Diseases (ESEI). The combined funding for both programmes was ~拢17M, originating from a range of funding partners from UK research councils and government departments. As Science Coordinator, I worked closely with the funded researchers, the funding agencies and end users to help achieve the programme vision of the establishment of truly interdisciplinary teams of researchers, conducting high quality state-of-the-art innovative research, feeding into policy and practice.
