About

I have been a researcher at CSIRO for more than 15 years, investigating scenarios of population growth, resource use and environmental impacts from the regional to the international scale. My research on sustainable consumption and production takes a multi-disciplinary, integrative approach that intersects with analysis at the city level: urban metabolism, urban resilience, industrial ecology, climate adaptation, low-carbon cities, and assessing urban strategy. Earlier research with the Australian National University and the University of New South Wales, focused on applied physics, and led to highly cited international journal articles on magnetics and biophysics. I have broad academic and research experience that I like to think brings some creative thinking on open ended problems of sustainability and economic development.
