I am Professor of Construction Management in the New School for Built Environment, Massey University, Auckland.
I have a PhD in Construction Management, and a BEng (Hons) in Civil Engineering, both from Oxford Brookes University, UK.
I have a Graduate Diploma in Business Studies (Dispute Resolution) from Massey University.
My research focuses on disaster management, construction innovation, resilience and smart cities.
I am interested in how cities, communities and organisations, including construction organisations, plan for disasters and manage hazard events and how to make them more resilience.
At the moment I am working on ideas on construction climate mitigation.
