About

I am Honorary Associate Professor at the Fenner School of Environment and Society, Australian National University, and also Co-Founder of FootprintLab, the commercial arm of IELab(see ielab.info). My research on sustainable consumption and production takes a multi-disciplinary, integrative approach that intersects with analysis at the macro-economic and micro-economic levels: corporate footprints, urban metabolism, eco-industrial precincts, climate adaptation, and negotiating climate transitions. I have served as Secretary of ISIE from 2018-2022 and I was with Australia's National Research Agency, the CSIRO for 18 years. Before that I researched solid-state physics at UNSW. Before that there was darkness. Apart from a sense of humour, I have broad commercial, academic and research experience that I like to think brings some creative thinking on open ended problems of sustainability and economic development.
