About

Professor Richard Quilliam is a faculty member at the University of Stirling, UK. His research primarily focuses on the interactions between microplastics and pathogenic bacteria, as well as the ecological impacts of plastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems. Recent publications include studies on the thermotolerance and drug resistance of Candida species, stakeholder behaviors in water conflict resolution, and the effects of microplastics on mosquito biology. Professor Quilliam is dedicated to advancing understanding of environmental health and safety issues related to water quality and pollution.
