I am currently the project manager for subproject 3A of the ARC Training Centre for Biosolids which involves both research and industrial partners from across Australia in order to establish best practice for the future of the biosolids industry. To this end I have established best practice policy for community-industry engagement and its options. My other research areas include the role of engineers in humanitarian settings, how to teach critical thinking and self reflection to graduates, as well the ways in which communities are engaged and engage with science. I am an enthusiastic researcher who has worked to study and enhance understanding of an area that I believe will be of increasing importance in the future; the study of human olfaction. To this end I have investigated the relationships of environmental stressors on the human sense of smell, as well as designed and implemented an olfactometer that measures olfaction using the method of adjustment psychometric that was previously not investigated. I have completed my PhD which has combined my background in psychology and current research in civil and environmental engineering to design comprehensive surveys for both communities and members of the industry, construct new methodologies for Gas-Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry/Olfactometry (GC-MS/O) as well as brush up on interpersonal skills such as interviews and qualitative research.
