Research Overview

• Hugh is a researcher in SMART’s Digital Living Lab, specialising in environmental measurements, particularly air quality and water quality. iOyster is a novel sensor for real-time water sensing for aquaculture. Real-time, low-cost sensing of water quality and crop health provides benefits to the environment and to aquaculture. To maxise the benefit of the data, he works with the SMART team and a network of waterway managers  and users to help improve access to water quality data for the public, government, researchers and industry. The team are building an accessible interface for a water quality database for the Illawarra and south coast. Other research investigates ways to reduce pollution with plastic waste, through innovative circular approaches to waste reduction and biodegradation in wastewater treatment. Air quality projects investigate traffic emissions and the use of native vegetation to reduce people’s exposure to heat and air pollution in Wollongong and Liverpool, SW Sydney. His background is in agent based modelling, spatial data analysis, marine ecology, health and web mapping. The SMART Fire Hydrants map received the 2017 Service Innovation Award (IoT category) of the Service Science Society of Australia. The map shows firefighters the locations of fire hydrants that can otherwise be difficult to find, so improves their response times to fire calls. Other areas of interest include health, quantitative ecology and theoretical evolution.
