Personal information
Biography
I graduated with a first class honours degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Sydney. After working for Coffey Geotechnics, I completed a PhD at UNSW Australia in the fields of rock mechanics and dam engineering. I am currently the Pells Sullivan Meynink Senior Lecturer of Rock Mechanics.
My research looks at how to better predict the properties of rock so that we can more efficiently design foundations, tunnels, slopes and dams..
I am attempting to improve our understanding and hence predictive capabilities of the behaviour of rock at the field scale using laboratory and field based studies. My research covers rockfill and rock mass strength and deformation as well as erosion prediction of spillways. I also investigate piping behaviour within embankment dams.
My research covers rock mass strength and deformation prediction, spillway erosion assessment and piping within embankment dams.
