Forehead, Hugh I.

Overview

2014-current Associate Research Fellow, SMART Infrastructure Facility
2013-2014 research scientist, developing an industrial process to produce ceramide (a valuable lipid) from milk, Nowra, Australia
2008-2012 research scientist in Royal Dutch Shell’s biofuel from microalgae project; part of the team who set up and ran a 4 Ha pilot facility in Kona, USA
2006-2008 postdoctoral research to demonstrate mechanisms for community-level selection in evolution and critical length scales in marine communities, University of Tasmania, Australia
PhD, 2006, University of Western Australia, Australia
BSc (Hons), 2001, University of Tasmania, Australia
Registered Nurse training, 1990, Tasmanian Department of Health and Human Services, Australia

Research Areas

090903 - GEOSPATIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Research Overview

Hugh is involved in research projects for the Digital Living Lab, social media in responses to disasters, street-level traffic emissions and SMART’s Vision Illawarra. 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 quantitative ecology and theoretical evolution.
