About

I am a Lecturer in the School of Property, Construction and Project Management, with research and industry expertise in workplace exposure science (occupational hygiene). My research spans monitoring, modelling, and field studies on how occupational exposures arise, how they vary across tasks and environments, and how they can be measured and managed in practice. As an established researcher with a strong track record, I focus on producing evidence that improves exposure assessment and supports healthier workplaces.
