Dan-Essien Kingsley Etekamba is a postgraduate student of Heriot-Watt University. He is a currently studying renewable energy engineering in the school of mechanical engineering, Heriot-watt university, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. He has got a background study in Petroleum Engineering, university of Uyo, Nigeria. Kingsley is currently interested in renewable and sustainable technologies. Making the world a better place while keeping the capital (resources) of the earth is his goal.

Project Support Officer for the Sustainable Aquaculture Innovation Centre. Graduate from University of Edinburgh in Environmental Protection and Management HND and Rural Resource Management BSc in 2005. Currently part time student at Heriot Watt University studying International Marine Science MSc.

Professor Scott Arthur’s is a Professor at Heriot-Watt University. His research addresses all aspects of urban drainage, from roof systems to urban watercourses and sewer networks. Building on internationally leading work on the formation of blockages in sewers, research undertaken in the UK and the EU has established Heriot-Watt as leaders in understanding debris-related flood risks. The key research outcome has been to link land use to generation of natural and/or anthropogenic debris and which types of trash screen are most likely to block. He has also undertaken considerable field based work looking at the movement of sediments in conventional and sustainable urban drainage systems. This ranges from sediment movement in sewers, to pollutant trapping in ponds and the clogging of permeable pavements.

Martin Laird is a Msc Renewable Energy Engineering student at Heriot-Watt University. He has an undergraduate honors degree from the same university. Martin has a keen interest in renewable energy systems modelling, and emerging renewable technologies.
