Doctoral Candidate
Using black soldier flies in food waste management and sustainable food production in urban systems

As part of an intra-CREATE collaborative research project, Adrian is working on the integration of black soldier fly larvae rearing into urban environments to enhance the sustainability performance of food systems in cities. For his research he combines current knowledge in biology, sensor technology and computer science. Before his start at SEC he studied agricultural science with special focus on insects in the food system and the combination of disciplines in research.
