Andrew Rose is Professor of Environmental Engineering at Southern Cross University, and a long-term Lismore resident. His primary field of expertise is the chemistry of natural and engineered aquatic systems. He has taught subjects including hydrology and hydraulic engineering, supervised over 20 PhD and Honours students, and maintains a research program that that is currently focussed on problems related to water quality in natural waters, removal of nutrients from wastewater, and waste recycling and recovery. His philosophy as an environmental engineer is that the natural and human worlds are interconnected parts of the same complex system, and that finding solutions to complex problems as an engineer requires a deep understanding of and respect for the various social, environmental, economic and scientific relationships in these systems. Andrew currently also serves as the Chair of the Academic Board at Southern Cross University.
