Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Research, Torrens University Australia My doctorate was Construction Supply Chain Procurement Modelling and was completed at Melbourne University in 2005. The thesis was an analysis of the construction industry industrial organisation economics describing the structural and behavioural characteristics of 13 subsectors. The descriptions were then translated into a computer cognition model explaining relationships between various aspects of the actors in the supply networks underpinned by procurement practices. This deep understanding of the industry and its institutional economics has enabled a platform for my research in academia to investigate areas such as technology adoption, ethical behaviours, cultural norms, collaborative human robotics, building information modelling governance and education, off site manufacturing collaborative business practice and internationalisation of design. I have led numerous national and state government funded projects including seven ARC projects. I also was an ARC College of Experts Panel member. My research is informed by my engagement with industry and government through various initiatives and roles including invited Ministerial memberships (Built Environment Industry Innovation council and NSW Architects Registration Board) and President/Board Chair Chartered Institute of Building Australasia and Lean Construction Institute of Australia. I co-created the Australian Housing Supply Chain Alliance and am a current member.
