My research interests are:

- One Water - Urban water planning for liveable cities, strategy development, drought response planning,
- Multi-objective adaptive planning under uncertainty
- Climate change vulnerability assessments and adaptation planning
- Efficiencies in the water industry
- Circular economy resource management in the water industry

I am interested in supervising postgraduate research in the areas of water planning and uncertainty (e.g. climate change adaptation):

- Integrated water planning and management - responding to changing customer and societal demands
- Defining liveability in a developing country context - understanding the tensions and contextual factors.
- Economic pathways and challenges to integrated water systems which include circular economy
- Water-Energy-Waste nexus.
- The impact of distributed systems on circular economy / resource efficiency
- Autonomous vs co-ordinated climate change adaptation - triggers for change and tipping points.
- Disaster risk reduction and the role of Indigenous knowledge for "building back better".
