Andrea leads wastewater systems solutions at Decisio, working on whole-system approaches to SODRP, DWMP and longer-term strategic investment planning. She is passionate about breaking industry silos and ensuring our solution integrates network protection with water quality, as well as potable and wastewater challenges.
An environmental engineer by training, Andrea joined Business Modelling Applications in 2025 as Wastewater Systems Solutions Owner. Before joining her work, including Research Fellow positions at the University of Leeds and a PhD from the University of Nottingham, spanned wastewater treatment and reuse, analytical and environmental chemistry, chemical risks of biosolids to land and the stakeholder engagement that turns a technically sound solution into one an organisation will actually adopt.
Areas of focus
- Whole connected systems solutions - breaking silos across the water industry (potable/wastewater) and (network/quality) for truly integrated solutions
- Wastewater treatment and safe reuse - closing the gap between treated effluent and the standard different reuse needs require
- Transdisciplinary connected solutions - machine learning and optimisation, engineering, chemistry and stakeholder engagement for integrated solutions
- Pollutants of emerging concern - monitoring, and what their presence means for treatment and for land application
