About

Alexander Curtis is a leading researcher at the intersection of digitalisation, intelligent robotics, and circular economy waste management. His seminal 2019 review, "Digitalisation and intelligent robotics in value chain of circular economy oriented waste management – A review," has garnered 436 citations, establishing him as a pivotal voice in the field. Curtis's work systematically maps how emerging technologies—from AI-driven sorting systems to IoT-enabled tracking—can transform waste from a linear disposal problem into a valuable resource stream within a circular economy. By synthesising fragmented research, he provided a foundational framework that has guided subsequent empirical studies and policy discussions. His contributions extend beyond academia, influencing industry practices in smart waste logistics and robotic recycling. Curtis's ability to bridge technical innovation with sustainability imperatives makes his research essential reading for students and practitioners seeking to understand the future of waste management. His work continues to shape how we integrate digital tools to close material loops, reduce environmental impact, and build resilient, resource-efficient systems.
