I am a Senior Lecturer in the School of the Built Environment and since 2009 have been the Programme Director for the MSc Project Management in Construction degree programme.  I have worked in several RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) funded research projects on good practices in disaster context, I have developed my specific research interest on exploring the role of knowledge management in the disaster management cycle. I lead the research theme ‘Knowledge Management for Disaster Resilience’ in the Centre for Disaster Resilience, at the University of Salford.  I am also an Editorial Advisory Board member of the International Journal of Disaster Resilience in the Built Environment and an Editorial Review Board Member of International Journal of Knowledge Based Organizations.
