I am a lecturer and Acting Research Coordinator for the Department of Information Management.
My background covers work in a number of research related organisations within the oil and gas industry, developing information and knowledge based processes and systems. I joined the Offshore Management Centre at the university in 1998 as senior research fellow, specialising in knowledge management. I then moved to the Centre for Knowledge Management (CKM) as Director of the Centre in 2001.
I am currently completing a PhD on knowledge transfer support systems in the oil and gas industry.
