<\/a>Dr. Ioannis Ieropoulos<\/a>\u00a0is a Research Fellow at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory. He has produced EcoBots I and II for his PhD (2002-2005) and was the lead Researcher for the EU FP-6 Integrated project Integrating Cognition, Emotion and Autonomy (ICEA), contract number 027819, FP6: IST, which completed successfully as highlighted by the European Commission, and resulted in the development of EcoBot-III. For the last 11 years he has been working on autonomous robotics and further improving the MFC technology both as a power generator but also as a waste and wastewater treatment\u00a0technology. He is the PI on the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation project Urine- tricity (grant no. OPP1044458), which is looking to develop the MFC technology for 3rd World Countries and he also leads UWE in a Leverhulme Trust grant, joint with the University of Bristol that is looking into biodegradable robots powered by biodegrad- able MFCs (RPG-362). In addition, he was also the named researcher on 2 Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC, UK) grants (GR\/S80448\/01 2004- 05) and (EP\/D027403\/1 2005-07), which both completed successfully and received a high-score assessment. He has published over 35 peer reviewed journal papers and has been invited to present at numerous conferences and workshops.<\/p>\nContact<\/h5>\n

e-mail: Ioannis.Ieropoulos@brl.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n Dr Benjamin Taylor <\/a>is a post-doctoral researcher in the Bristol BioEnergy Centre (BBiC), located in Bristol Robotics Laboratory at the University of the West of England, Bristol. His main research interests focus on the development and characterisation of microbial biofilms and biofilm models to understand the processes and changes that can occur in biofilms when challenged by a change in selective pressure. As part of the Evobliss consortium, he will identify potential targets within the biofilm of microbial fuel cells \u00a0that can be exploited to improved power production.<\/p>\n Pavlina Theodosiou <\/a>is a PhD student in Bristol Bioenergy Centre (BBiC), located in Bristol Robotics Laboratory at the University of the West of England. Pavlina has a BSc in Biological Sciences. Her PhD\u2019s broad focus is the \u201cAdaptability and Stability in Microbial Fuel Cells\u201d and at the moment she is investigating new ways to maximize MFCs output through the optimisation of critical MFC components using printable materials that can be extruded from the Evobot platform. Also as a part of the project she is using Evobot platform for maintaining autonomously the MFCs. Pavlina is actively involved with lot of outreach activities regarding MFCs and Evobliss project.<\/p>\n Andrew Stinchcombe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Principal investigator Dr. Ioannis Ieropoulos\u00a0is a Research Fellow at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory.
