Emma Lancaster

Emma Lancaster's research centers on environmental and public health monitoring, particularly wastewater-based surveillance for tracking infectious diseases like COVID-19 and assessing drinking water safety. Her work combines microbiology, environmental science, and data analysis approaches (including machine learning) to study microbial contamination, water quality, and disease outbreak patterns in communities. Recent work also touches on applying explainable AI methods to infectious disease and One Health frameworks.

Publication output has been uneven over the last decade, with a notable spike in 2022 (likely tied to COVID-19 wastewater research) followed by a steadier but modest pace of 1-2 papers per year through 2025-2026.
