Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoe Weaver is an interdisciplinary researcher and software-savvy modeler with nine years of experience applying ecology, microbial biotechnology, and computational engineering to improve microbially mediated waste treatment. Currently appointed as an Assistant Professor in Theoretical Biological (Microbiome) Modelling and Senior Research Associate at Newcastle University, he combines wet- and dry-lab expertise with agent-based and community assembly modelling to probe microbial interactions such as Type VI secretion. His background spans civil and environmental engineering (PhD) and electrical engineering, reflecting a rare blend of experimental, theoretical, and programming skills developed over a career that began in simulation software and lab operations. Joe’s work focuses on translating mechanistic microbial ecology into practical design principles for wastewater and landfill processes, and he contributes open science tools and models via his GitHub. He is comfortable bridging academic research and applied innovation, often integrating simulation-driven insights into real-world environmental biotechnology solutions.
