Environment & Sustainability
PRISM
PRISM has been developed to provide protected crop growers with an algorithm / sensor-based technology to predict pesticide breakdown rates in real-time.
Field of Expertise
Environmental organic chemistry and integrated sensor technologies
Expertise
My expertise includes understanding the behaviour of pesticides in the environment together with the development of sensor-based technologies.
Every year, thousands of tonnes of fresh fruit and vegetables are sent to landfill due to pesticides exceeding maximum residue levels. See explainer video (http://www.prismapp.co.uk/prism-explainer-video)
My expertise has helped to develop PRISM, a tool for protected crop growers which aims to significantly improve pesticide management for global horticulture.
