He has been at the University of Adelaide for the last 33 years since 1987 and his main research has included a focus on water distribution systems including: 1. Optimisation using evolutionary algorithms (including genetic algorithms) and Economic Model Predictive Control (EMPC) for the design and operation of water distribution systems. 2. Non-invasive condition assessment of water distribution systems using the transients 3. Accounting for sustainability in the design and operation of water distribution systems by multi-objective optimisation 4.
