Dr Ania Escudero
Research Fellow
The innovative system she pioneered during her PhD established for the first time the potential of using the microalgae Chlamydomonas acidophila in wastewater treatment systems. This success laid the foundation for the award of a prestigious EU-funded Marie Curie Fellowship in 2015 which brought her to GCU.
She is currently leading the local coordination of an EU-wide project on phosphorus recovery from wastewater treatment plants (Interreg NWE project Phos4You) whilst spearheading GCU’s research programme on the use of microalgal technology in treating wastewater. Ania also leads the Water Research Group within SCEBE.
