Lucinda Hazell

Lucinda is a chartered civil engineer who graduated from Imperial College London in 2012 with an MEng from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Having worked for a civil engineering consultancy for five years, she returned to the Department in 2017, joining the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Sustainable Civil Engineering as a PhD student, supervised by Dr Michael Templeton.

She is currently working on ‘WISER: Water Infrastructure for Schistosomiasis Endemic Regions' project that aims to inform the design of sustainable water infrastructure for endemic regions, by investigating the effectiveness of water treatment processes at removing or inactivating Schistosoma cercariae in water. Results from the laboratory will be scrutinised in the field in Tanzania and Ethiopia, capturing a wide range of water quality conditions.
