As a transdisciplinary scholar, my work aims to dismantle knowledge silos between different disciplines and across sectorial boundaries to develop new ways of thinking about real-world problems. Central to this approach is the inclusion of non-academic stakeholders as active participants in the research process. By engaging stakeholders as co-producers of knowledge, I acknowledge and value different ways of knowing to produce scientific and societal understanding of an issue, whether it be about religion, energy, or cyber-physical systems. My hope is the research outcomes will promote greater equality and transparency in decision-making to build the capacity and resilience of communities now and in the future.
