My Profile

About

I specialise in hydrodynamics & marine pollutant dispersion. I lead a team responsible for outfall/intake design & mitigating the effects of developments on water quality. I specialise in outfall optimisation & I develop models to solve environmental/engineering problems. Alongside R&D and consultancy, I teach courses on environmental hydraulics/modelling & provide intensive training workshops to industry, governments & universities. I'm keenly involved in IWA/IAHR's Marine Outfalls Committee.
