About me

I obtained my M.App.Sc in environmental monitoring and PhD in analytical chemistry from UniSA and worked as an industry researcher for over 20 years with the Australian Water Quality Centre, SA Water. Since joined SA Water in 1995, I have been involved in a number of major water treatment and distribution system related research projects as project leader and participant from major funding bodies, Water Research Australia, CRC for Water Quality and Treatment, American Water Works Association Research Foundation and Australian Research Council. More recently I am working on data visualisation and data analytics to improve treatment plant performance using online monitoring systems.
