Personal profile
Personal profile
With a robust multidisciplinary academic background, my expertise spans Sustainable Development and Resilient Urban Design, Water Resource Management, Solid Waste Management, Geohydrology, and Tailings Dams. I am deeply committed to tackling critical issues such as Water, Soil, and Air Pollution Prevention and Rehabilitation, Environmental Impact Assessment, and Environmental Law and Management. My focus areas also include Stakeholder Involvement, Nature-Based Solutions, and the intricate dynamics of Groundwater and Surface Water Quality.
My research interests are geared towards enhancing Climate Resilience through Drought and Flood Risk Management, Climate Change Modelling, and the Assessment of Future Impacts. I am passionate about Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation, Geotechnical Engineering, and the planning and design of Resilient Infrastructure. Additionally, I have a keen interest in Landfill Siting and Design as well as the implementation of Green Construction Materials and Methods.
Complementing my academic pursuits, I bring over twenty five years of professional experience in Project Management, Construction Management, and Civil Engineering projects. This blend of academic insight and practical application positions me to effectively address and manage complex environmental and engineering challenges.
