Research Interests

I have a strong passion for modelling complex systems across space and time, and my expertise in this area has been applied to a diverse range of research projects. Over the years, I have actively contributed to critical fields such as bushfire research, natural hazards management, urban planning, and soil erosion. Through my work, I have gained valuable insights into the complex dynamics of these environmental challenges and have developed innovative approaches to address them.

One of the key strengths that I bring to my research is my ability to collaborate effectively with various stakeholders. I pride myself on being a great listener, enabling me to truly understand the needs and perspectives of diverse actors, including farmers, local governments, and planners. By bridging the gap between scientific insights and practical applications, I have been able to create solutions that are not only scientifically sound but also relevant and feasible for real-world applications.

My work is characterised by strong technical skills and a collaborative approach. I focus on practical solutions to important environmental issues and involve relevant stakeholders. My research has helped develop sustainable management strategies that reduce risks and enhance resilience. I also strive to advance spatiotemporal modelling and its application in various fields, aiming to make a positive and lasting impact on society and the environment.
