Sustainable Construction / Construction Technology professional with a PhD degree in Architecture since 2009. Over 20 years experience in Academic Teaching / Architectural Design, with exposure to Architecture / Urban Planning and four years of project management experience. Academic appointments include teaching and research in Architecture and Design in three continents.

Earlier I used to work as a Visiting Researcher at the University of Adelaide, School of Architecture and Built Environment and a casual lecturer at the school of Nature and Built Environment at the University of South Australia. Also, I conducted extensive industry-based research in the area of sustainable architecture and environmental psychology. Also, I was involved in developing some nationally significant medical and higher education projects in roles as Architect, Senior Designer and Manager at a market-leading firm between 2003 and 2011. Recently, I approached the vast world of life-long online education. I enjoyed the experience of developing and delivering interactive and digitally enriched and architecture-related courses in the program of construction management at UniSA Online.

I possess extensive teaching experience focused on sustainable building construction and a proven record of academic courses developing expertise. My knowledge of academic lecturing and tutoring has been achieved through teaching at Architectural Schools in different universities nationally and internationally. Most recently, contributed to the School of Architecture and Built Environment, the University of Adelaide as a visiting researcher.
Currently, I am privileged to collaborate with the lecturing and course coordination team at the school of Nature and Built Environment at one of the most promising young universities worldwide, the University of South Australia while working as an online course facilitator at UniSA online. Also, I am in the process of developing the research-based package of course for our NBE Honour Research project.
