Biography

After developing and commencing the Environmental Engineering program in 2007 I have seen many of our graduates enter the workforce into some exciting positions that create the marriage between engineering and sustainability. These bright young people are now developing geothermal energy systems, recycling wastewater to safeguard our water resources, ensuring large civil engineering infrastructure constructions are meeting stringent environmental guidelines, running Living Smart programs for the community, solving complex groundwater problems on the Swan Coastal Plain, designing sustainable waste management systems on Christmas Island, assisting in the environmental performance of major mining projects and more. I engage my final year students with industry intensively for their design projects, theses and internships. In some cases they go on to secure employment with these same industry partners when they graduate.

Research Interest
