Stuart teaches and researches in the Energy and Environment Institue at the University of Hull. He established the MSc in Renewable Energy and more recently launched the MSc in Flood Risk Management. These programmes support both the transition to net-zero and building future resilience in response to a changing climate. His research focuses on water and sediment transport dynamics, particularly how they may change in response to climate change. Stuart manages the Total Environment Simulator (TES) which is a world-class experimental facility located at The Deep in Hull and has recently worked with colleagues to set-up a ‘living laboratory’ on campus to monitor and develop Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS).
