As an urban green space and protected areas specialist, I research various aspects of socio-ecological systems. As a human mobility expert, I lead research and enhance geospatial methods for people monitoring, sustainable visitor experience development and natural resource management. Trained as an ecologist, my specialities are the human dimensions of ecosystems, with work on people and animal behaviour and flora and fauna communities among other in tourism and recreations systems. I hold a PhD degree from the University of New South Wales and have published in both social and environmental science journals.
