I am a Professor in Construction and Project Management at UniSA STEM. I hold a PhD in Infrastructure Systems Engineering, and my research focuses on the intersections between technological solutions, economic efficiency, and environmental sustainability when developing and managing infrastructure. I have led research projects across various sectors, including construction, forestry, water, and local government. My work has been widely published, particularly in the areas of sustainable infrastructure, reverse logistics, waste management, and the circular economy. I am an active member of the Sustainable Infrastructure and Resource Management (SIRM) research concentration of UniSA STEM.
