Aaron is interested in the socio-ecological and historical relations between humans and microorganisms, particularly in urban environments. His main research aim is to investigate how humans and microbes have co-evolved over the last couple of centuries with a key focus on the environmental history of urban waterways. Many of these sites, from sewerage works and water treatment plants to abandoned and degraded hydro-infrastructures, are points of emergence for novel socio-microbial relations. Aaron aims to integrate research methodologies and theories from a range of disciplines, including environmental microbiology, physical geography, more-than-human geography, and posthuman thought. He is particularly interested in combining experimental data from environmental samples with social and humanistic analyses.

Further information on Aaron is available on his institutional profile. and his project Microflows.
