G’Day! I am an Associate Professor in Project Management at the University of Technology Sydney, where I also hold a two-year appointment as Associate Professor, Graduate Research with the Graduate Research School. I work on how infrastructure gets delivered: how risk is allocated in public-private partnerships, what relationships do that contracts cannot, and how a project holds the consent of the people it is built among. The academic profiles listed here hold the record. This website is where I explain what it adds up to.

Current projects

Social licence for infrastructure

Who grants legitimacy to a project, and how it is held across a lifecycle rather than secured once at approval. Supported by three grants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

AI readiness in construction projects

Readiness rather than capability: whether an organisation’s data, governance and skills let it use the tools that already exist.

Decision making with imperfect data

How major projects decide when the evidence available to them is incomplete or unreliable.
