After completing her PhD on uncertainty in sewer sediment transport, Alma worked as a researcher at the University of Sheffeld, on uncertainty in integrated water quality modelling and the use of rainfall radar data. From 2011 to 2013 Alma worked as a lecturer at the University of Bradford where she expanded her research on urban rainfall and started research on energy balance in the urban water cycle and heat recovery from urban drainage systems.
