Jeff has built a truly impactful career addressing global health crises, including work with Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) in response to major emergencies and disease outbreaks. His longstanding partnership with the University of Brighton has seen him collaborate on groundbreaking research in wastewater treatment and emergency response. Currently Jeff serves as the coordinator for Infection Prevention & Control and Water, Hygiene, and Sanitation (WASH) teams within the Public Health Department in Amsterdam where he has recently expanded his focus to include operational research and initiatives addressing climate and environmental health. His work reflects his commitment to improving both human and planetary health. Jeff said: “I am deeply honoured to receive this honorary doctorate – it came as a real surprise when I received the message. Looking back at these 13 years of collaboration with the University of Brighton, I realised how much work we have done together and how useful it has been for an organisation like Doctors Without Borders to not only apply the wastewater treatment method that was developed during many emergencies and share it with other humanitarian organisations, but also to get the expert support when needed. This was provided by the research team, namely Professor Huw Taylor, who unfortunately left us in 2017, Professor James Ebdon and Dr. Diogo Gomes Da Silva.” View the full playlist below: [   • Winter 2025 Honorary Graduate & Keyno...  ] #jeanfrancoisfesselet #wash #doctorswithoutborders #speech #acceptancespeech #graduation #advice #universityofbrighton #graduate #honorarygraduate #graduation2025 #brighton
