Professional Skills/Career Summary
Ole is a senior lecturer at Glasgow Caledonian University and is seconded to the Caledonian Environment Centre for his research interests in organic waste management and treatment.
As an environmental engineer, who specialised in waste water treatment and related gaseous emissions for his PhD conducted at the University of Birmingham and Silsoe Research Institute, Ole worked for Cranfield University, the Meat and Livestock Commission, and National Energy Services Ltd., mainly on projects concerning the implications of environmental legislation on business practices and on environmental standards.
He has a strong interest in the identification of sustainable management and treatment options for biological wastes.
In his current job as senior lecturer at Glasgow Caledonian University, he is continuing these interests, for example as a PhD supervisor of three waste and environmental performance related projects and as programme leader of an undergraduate programme in Environmental Management and Planning.
Ole carries out his research interest via a part-time secondment to the Centre, where he leads a small team of researchers in organic waste and waste water treatment.
