Profile
Warren took a break after his studies and followed an opportunity to work in tourism throughout Europe and New Zealand. Eight years later he found himself back at Otago University as an Assistant Research Fellow looking into energy use in food systems. A combination of his previous studies in the physical sciences and new concepts introduced by various colleagues has lead him to a PhD investigating various aspects of how waste is created in society.
