Welcome to my personal web pages  
I'm an environmental scientist from Edinburgh, Scotland. I'm 41 years old and have been married to Dr Tanya Peshkur since 2002. My main role is as Director of the Scottish Environmental Technology Network (SETN) funded by the Scottish Government and ERDF. SETN supports the development of the Environmental and Clean Technology (ECT) sector in Scotland working with Scottish Enterprise, Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) and Scottish Funding Council (SFC) from our base in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Strathclyde
I'm working on many different technologies but the most challenging work is on integrating technologies and building an eco-innovation park.

I have also been working to develop opportunities for Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) engines such as the GreenMachine from Electratherm to be used in the UK. 
I'm co-inventor of the Advanced Treatment Station (ATS) water filtration system available from APSU Environmental which was developed with for use in Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS). The ATS is also used for recycling of road gully waste in our Treatment and Recycling Plant (TARP). Water is recycled to wash and fill the gully trucks giving >95% recycling and reducing landfilling.
