Dr Chris Stokes is a research academic at the University of Adelaide and has been working with the Centre for Automotive Safety Research (CASR) since 2014. As an expert in the field of traffic infrastructure and traffic engineering, he has been involved in numerous projects aimed at improving the safety of roads and traffic systems.
I have been working with the Centre for Automotive Safety Research since July, 2014. I originally graduated from The University of Adelaide with a degree in civil and structural engineer (2009) and then with a PhD in water resources optimisation (2014). I have previously worked in the civil construction industry before returning to the University for a career in research.
Currently, my work with CASR is focused on the safety issues of road infrastructure and the ability to provide safer road environments with better infrastructure management and design. My work is aligned with Safe System thinking and the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020, with the goal of contributing towards a future with zero deaths and serious injuries on our roads.
