My research interests focus on the interface between systems and the society mainly from two approaches. On one hand, I focus on the optimization of sociotechnical engineering management from the perspectives of project management; safety, risk and environment management; regulations and policies; and knowledge management. On the other hand, I take a critical perspective on the role of actors within systems and organizations. Consequently, my research falls within the broader context of the following key areas:
Areas of Expertise:
I am a recipient of the prestigious Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) for both MSc and Ph.D. I also contributed and won numerous research grants, notable amongst which is my contribution to the Newcastle Innovation Project, which, amongst other factors, earned a consortium of universities including Newcastle Durham, Glasgow, St Andrews and Stirling Universities the sum of £5 million as research funding from NERC.

Teaching
As a Senior Lecturer in Project Management I lead as a Course Director and teach at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. I also supervise a number of Ph.D. students. I have module leadership responsibilities which also include preparing and designing teaching materials and assessments focusing project management modules. I utilize innovative tools and techniques to maximize student engagement. Typical innovative pedagogical tools I have used include LEGO Serious Play, Kahoot, gamification of learning, Business and Project Simulation, MS Project and Primavera. I have (or have had) module leadership responsibility of the following modules:
• Principles of Project Management
• Event Project Management
• Environmental Engineering and Project Management
