Jacqui Horswell is an English-born[1] New Zealand scientist who works at the Institute of Environmental Science and Research (ESR).[2] She specialises in characterising the dynamics and structure of microbial communities in soil using microbial cultures and DNA sequencing.[3] Her work focuses particularly on using information about soil microbial communties for forensic science[4] and measuring and remediating contaminants in sewage sludge.[1][5] She is the programme manager of the Center for Integrated Biowaste Research[6], a collaboration between ESR, Scion, Landcare Research, and the Cawthron Institute to study options for safely and sustainably reusing biodegradable waste.[7]
Academic career
Dr Horswell completed her undergraduate biology degree at the University of Bath and her PhD in microbiology at the University of Aberdeen before moving to New Zealand to begin work at ESR.[1] Her PhD thesis was titled Investigation of approaches to accelerate atrazine mineralisation in soil.[8]
