Katie Gilmour
Senior Research Assistant, HBBE
I am interested in sustainable research with interdisciplinary themes around microbiology. I graduated from the University of Dundee with a BSc (Hons) in Microbiology having worked on copper recovery using fungi for my honours project.
I recently completed my PhD at Newcastle University, which was a collaboration between geomicrobiology and geotechnical engineering.
I investigated the presence, activity, and survivability of microbes in clay intended for use in nuclear waste repositories.
I am currently thoroughly enjoying working on a range of projects within The HBBE at Northumbria University including the bacterial cellulose project.
