Ben Orriss
Postgraduate Researcher
Location: Harrison 284
I've always had an interest in engineering and the environment. Having studied Environmental Science and Civil Engineering at the University of Southampton, I'm now lucky to work in a role, where I can combine these interests, helping communities, people and industry adapt to a changing climate.
These topics remain at the core of my work, and over my career, I've been able to develop these skills on projects ranging from strategic advice for governments to detailed design and consenting of civil engineering schemes, generally incorporating a watery theme.
I am currently undertaking PhD research at the Centre for Water Research at University of Exeter, pursuing an innovative concept that aligns climate change adaption and progression towards a net zero energy system. If you would like to understand more please do get in touch.
