Personal Statement

Donald is a researcher and Hydro Nation Scholar working within the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Strathclyde. 

Research interests: sustainable development, water resource management, hydrogeology, participatory action research, citizen science, science-policy engagement

Donald's transdisciplinary doctoral research focuses on the practical application of citizen-generated data for use within water management systems and institutions. With an international focus to his work, Donald specifically examines how water sector professionals interact with and perceive citizen-generated data, as well as where the oppertunities and barriers lie. Donald aims to apply this learning to help co-create strategies for incorporating novel sources of data into water management practices for real-world impact. 

Donald is supervised by Prof Tracy Morse (University of Strathclyde), Dr Rowan Ellis (Georgetown Univeristy in Qatar) and, Dr Chris White (University of Strathclyde).

Prior to joining the Hydro Nation team Donald obtained a B.Sc (Hons) Geology from the University of Manchester and a M.Sc. Hydrogeology from the University of Strathclyde. In addition to his formal educational, Donald has several years of experience working on water-related research projects both in the UK and abroad with skills and experience in; data-generation projects, monitoring & evaluation, stakeholder engagement, environmental governance and international development.
