I teach and research Civil and Environmental Engineering. I investigate urban climate change strategies to implement mitigation and adaptation technologies and determine the impact these strategies have on natural resources across the globe.
My vision is to make this world an even better place. My mission is that Government, Industry and Society will appreciate the environmental and resource consequences of their actions (or indeed inaction). For this, my team develops and applies engineering and management methodologies to increase the profitability and understanding of industrial and urban processes. My projects have been assessed independently and received the highest possible ratings for the transfer of technical and management knowledge. I have designed and delivered training courses and consulted local and multinational companies from the construction to the banking sector. My work enhances the research and training of science, engineering, and managerial knowledge as they are directly relevant to businesses and governmental organisations.
Having worked in the construction industry and graduated as a fully qualified Civil Engineer in Germany I completed a PhD in Environmental Management and Business Psychology (School of Engineering and the School of Biology and Psychology) at Newcastle University in 2006. After working for more than 8 years as a company director, consultant, and trainer of business leaders worldwide I re-joined Newcastle University in 2011 as a researcher and became an Academic member of staff in 2017.
I now develop new approaches to model and manage climate change adaptation, mitigation interventions, and the impact these have on natural resources. My team provides researchers and decision-makers with a system of systems understanding of the inter-relationships between strategies and resource use. I consider climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies and technologies in the built environment.
My research, consultancy, and publications feed directly into my teaching bringing expertise into the classroom. I lead modules and teach and conduct the associated administration of Higher Education (HE) Programs for UG, PG, and doctoral students. My leadership, lecturing, and administration in HE has been assessed by colleagues and students as being “very effective” and “excellent”.
My research team quantifies the intended and indeed unintended consequences of climate change interventions. Ultimately I develop new theories for urban areas (cities) and climate change adaptation and mitigation by considering resource models, life cycle assessment and costing, material flows, industrial ecology principles, and standardised management systems to make this world an even better place, everywhere for everyone!
