Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD - email supervisor to discuss availability.


I am the Director of the Centre for STEM Education & Innovation and an Associate Professor in the School of Architecture & Civil Engineering with a background in stochastic spatial rainfall and hydrological modelling. I am passionate about the application of advanced modelling and simulation to environmental engineering problems in areas such as water resources, agriculture and construction. In my discipline research I currently work across four main fields:
(i) development of decision support tools for agriculture,
(ii) developing scenario-neutral climate impact assessment approaches,
(iii) the development of stochastic spatial rainfall models and evaluation frameworks for rainfall models, and
(iv) development of life-cycle and decision support tools for the construction sector.
