James Lofty is a Humboldt fellow at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology investigating micro- and macro- plastic transport in rivers using multidisciplinary approaches - integrating both laboratory and field work. He gained his PhD at Cardiff University and currently collaborates with researchers at Imperial College London, the University of Birmingham and the University of California, Riverside. His work aims to identify the physical properties and mechanisms, based on fluid dynamics, which govern how plastic behaves and is transported in turbulence. This critical information aims to predict the motion of plastics in rivers and will inform future environment policies aiming to reduce the flux of plastics in the environment.
