He joined SA Water in 1995 as a research scientist and later progressed to the role of research manager. During his time at SA Water, he contributed to major water research projects spanning the entire “catchment to tap” cycle and gained extensive experience in translating research outcomes into full‑scale operational practice. In 2017, Chris returned to UniSA as Professor of Water Science and Engineering. He has established strong relationships with the water industry and has a proven track record of bridging research and operational needs, successfully facilitating numerous research and implementation projects. His industry collaboration has also extended into the forestry sector, supporting researchers in applying cross‑sector knowledge to forestry‑related challenges. Although much of Chris’s career has been industry‑based, he has demonstrated strong research leadership and resource management skills, supported by an impressive publication record. He has authored or co‑authored more than 350 journal and conference papers and holds a Scopus h‑index of 54. In 2024, he was ranked among the top 2% of cited researchers worldwide in both the single‑year and career‑long categories of the Stanford University Top 2% World Scientist Ranking. Chris has also taken on significant leadership roles at UniSA. He was appointed Deputy Director of the Natural and Built Environments Research Centre (NBERC) in 2018, then became Director of NBERC and Associate Head of School (Research) in 2019. He subsequently led the establishment of two University‑recognised research concentrations: Scarce Resources and Circular Economy (ScaRCE) in 2020, and Sustainable Infrastructure and Resource Management (SIRM) in 2022.

Prof. Dr. Sara Wilkinson
University of Technology Sydney, Design, Architecture and Building, Sydney, Australia
Professor Sara Wilkinson is a chartered building surveyor and Australia’s first female Professor of Property. Her transdisciplinary research program sits at the intersection of sustainability, urban development and transformation, with a focus on green cities and preparing our urban environments for the challenges of climate change. She has a growing interest in the use of new technologies to deliver sustainable building outcomes. Sara works with academic and industry partners in engineering, science, health and business to deliver building adaptation, sustainability and resilience, and green infrastructure projects. Her research has been funded by the ARC OEH NSW, RICS, ARENA, HIA, Kamprad Family Foundation, City of Melbourne and City of Sydney. Recent work includes a project with Swedish developer Skanksa and funded by the Kamprad Family Foundation that uses virtual reality to assess customers’ willingness to pay for green infrastructure in a residential housing development. Another project funded by the City of Sydney developed a prototype wallbot to inspect and monitor green walls on high-rise buildings. An updated version of the bot, developed in partnership with the UTS Centre for Autonomous Systems, will have maintenance functions such as pruning, weeding and replacing plants, paving the way for increased opportunities for smart green wall installations in urban areas. Her ARC Linkage project with UTS FEIT and Science evaluates performance of hempcrete wall panels and green walls. In a career spanning over 30 years, Sara has produced more than 385 research outputs, including 9 books, 29 book chapters, 59 refereed journal and 105 refereed conference papers, and 8 keynote presentations, among others.
