Simon Judd

Hector was a PhD student at Cranfield University for four years, jointly supervised by myself and Dr Bruce Jefferson. Hector conducted an extensive MBR pilot plant trial as part of his PhD studies, generating a review article and a technical paper as well as contributing data to 2-3 other papers. Hector was a very willing, hard working and responsible student, well liked by his peers. I'm happy to recommend him.
