Dr Tim Muster is a Principal Research Scientist based in Adelaide, South Australia and active researcher within the Adaptive Liveable Cities Team in CSIRO Environment. Tim leads CSIRO’s Urban Living Lab initiative which seeks to build a portfolio of innovation precincts that progress an agenda of place-based experimentation and learning, catalysing and de-risking change, and solving wicked urban problems using systems and co-development approaches. Tim’s research seeks to understand the enablers and barriers to place-based innovation and capacity-building projects, and to evaluate the ability of new solutions and/or policies to advance system aspects of liveability, sustainability and resilience. Tim has over 25 years of research experience in intelligent infrastructure and resource recovery from wastewater. He has published over 80 refereed journal publications and has previously led numerous collaborative projects with the Water Research Foundation, The Boeing Company, Fonterra and Australian Water Recycling Centre of Excellence.
