My research interests include geostatistical modelling and prediction in mineral resource, petroleum reservoir and environmental applications; geological modelling and mathematical geology; stochastic modelling and quantified risk assessment in natural resource and environmental applications; definitions and reporting of ore reserves; mineral economics; financial analysis and modelling; operational research; and computer-aided mine design. The context of much of this work has been the modelling and estimation of orebodies, coal deposits and hydrocarbon reservoirs, often in very complex geological settings; the generation of three-dimensional orebody models as the basis for optimal mine design and scheduling; establishing resources and reserves together with associated confidence limits; the design of blasting and loading operations to optimise mineral extraction; and the quantification of geological and technical risk associated with resource extraction.
Recent work has focussed on the characterisation of rock masses in hot dry rock enhanced geothermal systems; environmental risk analysis and assessment; stochastic modelling of flow pathways in aquifers; and assessing temperature changes in climate modelling.
I am currently Director of the Australian Research Council Industrial Transformation Training Centre for Integrated Operations for Complex Resources. The Training Centre was awarded in 2020 and will finish in August 2026. The Training Centre comprises three partner universities (the University of Adelaide, University of South Australia and Curtin University), one of the world’s largest mining companies (BHP) and 18 Mining Equipment, Technology and Services (METS) companies and organisations.
The Training Centre has received funding of over $10 million from the Australian Research Council and industry partners. These funds support 16 full-time PhD students and three Post-Doctoral Researchers to undertake inter-disciplinary research to deliver the tools for integration to maximise productivity and reduce risk in the mining value chain.
This high technology, interdisciplinary training centre is contributing to advancing the capability of integrating sensors, data analytics and artificial intelligence while delivering the next generation of scientists and engineers to shape the future of mining operations in Australia.
