Analysis of Microplastics in Biosolids

Research

This project was part of a CSIRO project aimed to investigate how the contaminants (including microplastics) in biosolid behave when treated with soldier flies . The aim of microplastic testing was to determine the fate of plastic in the larvae process. As plastic can be ingested by larvae this project…

Microplastics analysis of processed organics (MATS Project)

Research

“This project aimed to 1) establish a baseline for the quantity, size, and identity of microplastics in recycled organics outputs derived from feedstocks containing FO, GO, and FOGO. 2) Assess risk of microplastics found in recycled organics derived from feedstocks containing FO, GO and FOGO against human health, ecological health,…

Charred Koala – Hanging On

Mangrove Timelapse VR

Research

This project is a pilot project aiming to create an interactive VR time-lapse video of a mangrove forest from the perspective of its different animal inhabitants. It combines science and animation by embodying the imperceptible “aliveness” of a mangrove forest from multiple perspectives to highlight the importance of the ecosystem.
