PhD Candidate, Te Piringa-Faculty of Law, University of Waikato
My PhD research focuses on the role of law for "extended producer responsibility" . The emphasis is on product-oriented law and policies mandating producers to bear responsibility for environmental impacts of their products through their lifecycle. My research examines intricate legal issues related to upstream and downstream producer responsibilities, including waste reduction, waste prevention, reuse, repair and recycling. Other areas of research include consumer protection, competition and industry self-regulation.

Associate Professor for Remote Sensing and Glaciology, University of Canterbury
I received a MSc in meteorology and a PhD in glaciology from Innsbruck University, Austria, in 1995 and 2000, respectively. From 2001-2006, I was a post-doctoral researcher and research scientist at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (Germany) studying polar land-ice using remote sensing and airborne geophysics. Since 2006 I am employed at the University of Canterbury's Centre for Antarctic Studies and Research (Gateway Antarctica) - first as a senior lecturer and then as an associate professor. I teach and research remote sensing and polar glaciology for both land ice and sea ice. For my special interest in the mass balance of the polar cryosphere I spent 17 field seasons in the Arctic and Antarctica to collect ground data for satellite validation.

Research Scientist, University of Washington
I am a researcher interested in how the computations in the human visual system are influenced by experience. I characterize the building blocks of perception using a combination of visual/auditory psychophysics, eye-tracking, neuroimaging, and computational modeling. I work with both neurotypical and neurodiverse populations (e.g., autism spectrum disorder, blindness), with an aim to find ways that can positively shape individuals' perceptual experiences.
