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 sustainable waste management. Her work focuses particularly on measuring the fate and effects of microbial and chemical contaminants in sewage sludge.[1][3] In the past she has also worked on using information about soil microbial communities for forensic science,[4] characterising the dynamics and structure of microbial communities in soil using microbial cultures and DNA sequencing.[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]
