Ian is a software engineer in the field of simulation modelling working under the direction of Dr Geoff Cary (FSES).

Ian has developed a variety of dynamic simulation models in collaboration with other researchers from Australia and overseas. These models examine ecological systems from the perspective of populations, communities, landscapes and ecosystems. He is currently involved in a project to develop a distributed computer-grid platform for modelling multi-scale ecological systems.

Ian has been involved in many training workshops in SE Asia, Africa and Europe.
