Associate Professor in Environmental Science, Western Sydney University
I am a science communicator and am employed as an associate professor in Western Sydney University’s School of Science. I teach classes in water science and management, environmental planning and environmental regulation across several degree programs.
Prior to WSU, I worked as a scientist in the urban water industry, mainly at Sydney Water. My science interests include freshwater ecology, water chemistry and water pollution (science and management).
My research interests include urban water issues, contamination from concrete materials and impacts of mining on streams and rivers. I have provided independent expert testimonies for environmental science matters for the NSW Land & Environment Court, and also for mining development proposals being considered through the planning system.
I’m an enthusiastic participant in art & science and community engagement activities associated with water and I often provide expert commentary on water issues in the media. I’m fortunate to visit primary and secondary schools, on behalf of the University, to talk to classes about water.
The contaminants found in our drinking water are the same ones United States authorities warn can cause cancer over a long period of time, with reports warning there is “no safe level of exposure”.
