"A Ph.D. candidate looking at “Decarbonising Urban Development” as part of the Decarbonising Cities and Regions ARC Linkage Project run by the Curtin University Sustainability Policy (CUSP) Institute in Fremantle. Undergraduate studies were in Architecture at the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen and graduated with a B. Sc . (hons) and a Post Graduate Diploma.
Prior to returning to academia at CUSP, I worked for 14 years as a commercial architect and it was with a move to Perth in 2004 that an interest in sustainable design grew. The majority of my experience was with large scale commercial, retail, mixed use and transport projects most notably with the redevelopment of Fulham Broadway Underground Station in London’s West End.
Served an apprenticeship with Marconi Instruments in electronics engineering, I also worked with industrial gas generators, where I was the design draftsman for the Rolls Wood Group in Aberdeen.
I ran a small business as an architectural and industrial model maker between graduate and post graduate studies producing intricate working models of ‘downhole’ tools for the Oil and Gas Industry and 3D computer generated models of architectural projects including a detailed model of Aberdeen City Centre for the Robert Gordon University."
