• As Senior Research Geophysicist I provided technical advice and helped to shape the strategic direction of Geoscience Australia's (GA) Onshore Seismic and Magnetotelluric Section. In addition, I:
• worked with GA's multidisciplinary software development teams to develop the software necessary to process, model and visualise geophysical data;
• led internal and external discussions on GA’s role in understanding critical mineral potential in Australia;
• worked across GA to influence our… Show more As Senior Research Geophysicist I provided technical advice and helped to shape the strategic direction of Geoscience Australia's (GA) Onshore Seismic and Magnetotelluric.
• worked across GA to influence our Exploring For The Future (EFTF) data and product delivery portal that will deliver GA products, data and decision support tools to our stakeholders; and

• Some of our achievements in Indonesia include:
• New national map of Indonesia’s earthquake hazard in order to prioritise risk reduction efforts and inform safer building practices. More detailed provincial maps provide local-scale information for 51 million people.
• Real-time estimates of the impact and damage from earthquakes to inform disaster response
• National scale assessment of tsunami hazard in Indonesia that is being used to prioritise provinces… Show more Some of our achievements in Indonesia include:
• National scale assessment of tsunami hazard in Indonesia that is being used to prioritise provinces for disaster risk management under the Presidential Tsunami Master Plan. Detailed inundation modelling for at risk.
• Enhanced ability for Indonesian Government to forecast volcanic ash impacts to inform disaster preparedness and response. New volcanic ash hazard maps in regions populated by 36 million people as well as an ability to.

Canberra, Australia

• As Earthquake Activity I:
• Built and lead a high performing earthquake risk modelling team that has consistently delivered quality products contributing to key projects in SEA (Indonesia, Philippines, PNG) as well as Australia. At its peak in.
• Developed an internationally recognised methodology for earthquake hazard and risk analysis and implemented it into a software package - the Earthquake Risk Model (EQRM).
• Coordinated the release of the… Show more As Earthquake Activity I:
• Coordinated the release of the EQRM as an open source software tool (2007). The EQRM was the first open source probabilistic earthquake risk-modelling tool. The significance of these achievements are as follows:
• The Australian Government is equipped with the tools to undertake the full range of earthquake scenario and probabilistic modelling necessary to advise emergency management planners, government authorities at a variety.
