I am a Senior Lecturer with Monash's Embodied Visualisation (previously Immersive Analytics) research group. My work focuses on helping to harness data effectively for a more sustainable future. This spans various sustainability goals including understanding sensitive ecosystems, patterns of society and population health and well-being as well as renewable energy and resources.  My research seeks to create innovative visual analytical solutions for complex, multi-dimensional and geospatial data sets, as well as to improve user-centred visualisation design methodologies. 

My work has often had a focus on improved visual solutions for the energy sector, from individual households through to solutions for control room scenarios (relating to the change and increase of data linked to renewable energy). This includes innovative solutions for visualising energy network data, Net Zero initiatives and the Monash microgrid. I am an Associate of Monash Energy Institute and Director of Research for Information Technology for the Monash Grid Innovation Hub. Prior I was the deputy IT for Sustainable Energy theme lead for Monash Faculty of Information Technology. I was recently selected to participate in the EnergyLab's Women in Climate and Energy Fellowship in 2025. 

I have worked for 20 years in the field of geospatial analysis and information visualisation in professional and academic roles; as a GIS technician, geo-data analyst, consultant and an academic researcher for some of the leading research centres for spatial analysis and visualisation around the world including the giCentre at City, University of London, UK; the g2Lab at HafenCity University, Hamburg, Germany,  Geospatial Science Department at RMIT University, Melbourne and the Embodied Visualisation Group (previously mmersive Analytics Lab), Monash University. I was awarded my PhD in Geographical Information Science in 2015 from City, University of London titled: Visualisation for household energy analysis: techniques for exploring multiple variables across scale and geography.

I was co-general chair for IEEE VIS 2023 in Melbourne. I chair two international workshop series on 'Energy Data Visualisation' (EnergyVis) and 'Urban Data Visualisation' (CityVis) and have been on various program committees including IEEE InfoVis and IEEE PacificVis. I teach data visualisation to around 1000 students per year and supervise many PhD, Masters and Honours students (see below) on diverse data topics.
