Educational history 2008: Doctor
of Philosophy at
the
Flinders University of South Australia, School of Biological Sciences.
Ph.D. thesis title:
Systematic
studies of the southern Australian mallees (Eucalyptus series Subulatae - Myrtaceae). 1995: Bachelor of Applied Science (Natural Resource Management) at the University of Adelaide, Roseworthy Campus. 1991:
Dux
Certificate; Horticulture Course, Urrbrae
Agricultural High School.
Experience
I have authored over 40
publications since 1994 (listed below), all relating to eucalypt
systematics, ecology and
biochemistry, including 29 refereed scientific articles and the
reference books Eucalypts of
South Australia and Eucalypts
of Victoria and Tasmania. I am director and head of research
at Currency Creek
Arboretum (CCA; www.dn.com.au), a world-renowned eucalypt research
arboretum,
including the cultivation of over 800 species of eucalypts. Over 50
publications have been published, accepted for publication, submitted
or are in
manuscript, which have used the resources and/or data of CCA. I am self-employed as a consulting
arborist/botanist/ecologist. I have consulted to numerous government
organizations, private companies and individuals for tree
identifications, tree
hazard and health assessments and species selection and field trials,
including
the production of Significant Tree Assessment Reports for over 4000
trees in
the Adelaide metropolitan area since 2003. I am also employed as a
casual
teacher in Biological Sciences at The Flinders University of South
Australia. I
have been invited to speak
on eucalypt arboriculture, botany and ecology at numerous seminars and
conferences, including:
Awards
2003: Centenary
Medal awarded by the
Governor-General for service to the community, through the
establishment of a
eucalypt research arboretum. 2002: Semi
Finalist of SA Water Science
& Technology Award as part of the Young Australian of the Year
Awards. Semi
Finalist of Unilever Environment Award as part of the Young Australian
of the
Year Awards. 1992: Finalist
of Environmental Award as
part of the Young Australian of the Year Awards.
