I'm interested in all aspects of improving deliberative democracy and helping governments make better decisions with the benefit of technology and a meaningful understanding of community views.

I run a consultancy (H2onestly) and am doing a PhD with Alexey Voinov's PERSWADE group at University of Technology Sydney.

Recently completed five years as Mining Manager with WaterNSW, where my role was to analyse evidence of impacts from mining beneath Sydney's drinking water supplies, and to advocate for their reduction.

I have a long background in water environment as a regulator and consultant, working in all aspects of water science, particularly in groundwater pollution, mining impact and resource assessment.

Specialties: Regulatory innovation, sustainability, groundwater, mine impact assessment, resource protection, water pollution and remediation, land contamination, decentralised sewage management
