I am a Senior Lecturer in construction management at the University of South Australia (UniSA), UniSA STEM. I teach Construction Operations and Safety and Construction Management Honours Research Project courses. In research, I have studied people’s behaviour in hazardous work environments and safety improvement methods in various high-risk industries. I have conducted several research projects funded by industries and state and federal governments on safety topics including road safety for vulnerable road users and safety training for young workers for hazardous operations.
