[1][2][3][4] Lunn studies flow and transport systems in the shallow crust in an effort to characterise uncertainty in nuclear waste disposal,.
[9] SAFE (a £1.3 M EPSRC programme) developed technology that can monitor thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical reaction (THMC) variables, including pH, temperature, pressure and swelling.
Lunn researches post-war infrastructure in regards to the 50 year design life, trying to minimize the damage caused by the continually degrading and increasingly hazardous structures.
She is presently involved in a project that aims to reduce the USE of global cement and concrete, through a process called Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation technique (MICP).
[15] Motivated to make a larger impact by helping people and solving issues, she moved to Newcastle University for her postgraduate studies, earning a master's degree in Science and a PhD in Engineering for research on modelling large drainage basins in 1995.
[28] Lunn's work contributes to 10 of the United Nations 17 global Sustainable Developmental Goals; Gender Equality, Clean Water and Sanitation, Affordable and Clean Energy, Industry Innovation and Infrastructure, Sustainable Cities and Communities, Responsible Consumption and Production, Climate Action, Life Below Water, Life on Land and Peace Justice and Strong Institutions.
[15] The report, Tapping All Out Talents, made a series of recommendations, including ensuring that universities obtained an Athena SWAN Silver Award and encourage shared parental leave.
[39] Lunn is Programme Director on the EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Science Research Council) Inclusion Matters project STEM Equals.
