Research Assistant
-
Oct 2016 - Dec 2017
I worked as lead research assistant on a green infrastructure project in collaboration with Lendlease, Grow Collective and with funding from Horticulture Innovation Australia. A green roof and green wall were constructed and mounted on a demountable building at RAAF Amberley Base with the aim of cooling the building and thereby decreasing the need for energy use through air conditioning. I developed surveys, an environmental monitoring strategy and collected and analysed environmental data. In November 2017, the team was invited to the Horticulture Innovation Australia Research Forum in Sydney where I presented the research to academics, researchers and industry collaborators within the urban greening sector.
