I have been actively engaged in research/development in spatio-temporal modelling, bioclimatic modelling and relevant fields since the early 1980s. I have extensive experience in modelling and mapping climatic and natural resource data. Particular strengths in computing, GIS and remote sensing.

• July 2005 - present: Senior Modeller, The Fenner School of Environment & Society, ANU. Actively contributing to projects of the school in modelling and mapping surface climate and topography and a wide range of environmental applications. Providing central support to two of the school's main themes - global change and Landscapes, water and biodiversity.
• Research Scientist 1999-2005. and Manager for spatial data modelling 2001-2005., AGRECON, University of Canberra.
• Senior GIS officer 1998-1999., ERIN, Department of Environment and Heritage of Australia.
• PhD Student 1994-1997. and Research Officer 1995-1997., CRES, ANU.
• Visiting Fellow 1992-1993., CRES, ANU.
• Assistant Professor 1985-1991., Institute of Remote Sensing and GIS, Beijing University.
