I'm a Senior Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Civil Systems Engineering at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. My work focuses on energy systems, transitions, and impacts. I am passionate about researching energy, the environment, natural resources and sustainability, particularly in the context of a changing climate, new policies, and technological advances.

I work on problems with complex solutions and enjoy the challenge of tackling questions that don't have answers. In my research, I use electricity grid and water resource modeling, optimisation, statistics, and data science, among other things, to tackle these questions. I also love data visualization.

I currently teach a class for 3rd year civil engineering students about engineering for climate change. We cover subjects like risk, uncertainty, sustainability, climate science, mitigation and adaptation, networks/network theory, and more. At the 4th year, I teach a course on sustainable energy systems, where students learn about renewable energy technologies, their applications, and integration. I am also a Director of the Renewable Energy Masters Program.

If you would like to get in touch to talk about research collaborations or openings for students in my research group, please contact me.
