In my 11 years as a Lecturer and then Senior Lecturer, I have single-handedly developed the soil science specialism at my university. I built up one of the largest lab groups in my Faculty, and am one of the most successful academics in my School in terms of research income. My research interests are wide-ranging, but my lab group currently focuses on sustainable agriculture, environmental pollution (particularly from heavy industry and warfare), soil ecology, and soil forensics. I have supervised over 50 undergraduate and postgraduate student projects, and current have 21 students and staff in my lab group. I am the Course Director for a suite of degrees and the Research Lead for Biological Sciences.
