Autobiography:
I worked as a structural engineer before commencing my PhD on fire safety of cold-formed steel structures at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in 2008. After completing my PhD in 2011, I worked as an associate lecturer and research fellow for 3 years at QUT. I joined Griffith University in 2014 to teach structural engineering courses within the School of Engineering and Built Environment. I am an active researcher in the area of facade engineering and aluminium, steel & timber structures. I have been working on a variety of structural and fire engineering research projects funded by ARC and industry. I aim to pursue research in aluminium, steel and timber structures to develop innovative and sustainable disaster resilient buildings and facades.
