Event details
Water, energy, and food sustainability are of strategic importance to human beings. Solutions to these problems are often challenging, complex and diverse. It is not impossible that a breakthrough in scientific principles may lead to innovative solutions for multiple sustainability problems.
This lecture will illustrate a personal development pathway of how a scientist tackles water pollution problems such as: harmful algal bloom; eutrophication; heavy metal pollution; perfluorinated chemicals; sediment remediation; from fundamental science (surface chemistry, nano materials, synchrotron technique) to engineering levels and how it will be developed into integrated water, energy, and food (WEF) security studies where waste water can be purified by turning pollutants into biofuel, electricity, anti-toxin biochar (for food safety), and other products, through innovative microalgae bio-refinery management.

Professor Pete Murphy Inaugural Lecture
“Do they say what they do and do what they say?” A reflection on politicians and public policy makersPublic lectures
24 January 2019
5.30 pm - 7 pmIn his inaugural lecture, Professor Murphy will reflect on the development of public policy, the delivery of public services and the assurance provided to the public that public money is being well spent. Focussing on locally delivered public services in the UK over the last 40 years, he will adopt the auditor’s old adage ‘do they say what they do? and do they do what they say?’ Appointed as the first ‘Professor of Teaching and Practice’ at NTU he will draw on his experience in practice and show how this continues to influence his research at the University.
