I am a registered architect working as a part time research fellow in SIAL and enrolled as a PhD candidate at RMIT.

I run a University wide elective in flexible modeling, coordinate ARC and other grant funding applications, run research-based courses such as cross-disciplinary Design studios and supervise Major Project. I work on the research into the continuing construction of the Sagrada Familia church with Mark Burry and directly with the team in the technical office in Barcelona.

My main current research interest is the deployment of mathematics in contemporary spatial design practice. I have also been researching design communication for distributed collaboration and am a member of the Australian Centre for Interaction Design group: Virtual Communities. The RMIT Design Institute programs Intelligent Space and Communication Interfaces/Digital Artefacts provide contexts for these research foci.

In 2007-2008 I have a visiting teaching and research position at QUT developing courses using parametric design and research into the integration of environmental performance in parametric modeling in early design.

I worked previously in the research team for the continuing construction of the Sagrada Familia church at Deakin University and have worked in architectural practice and teaching in several countries since I completed my architecture studies in 1985. Past research topics included Post Cyclone Relief housing in SE India and the history of house typologies in NW Scotland. My work in practice includes houses, housing and public buildings including schools.
