Principal Groundwater Hydrologist / Groundwater Modeller

Andrew is a Senior Groundwater Hydrologist for AGE who specialises in numerical groundwater modelling. He has a Masters of Applied Science in Mathematics from the Queensland University of Technology, achieved through research into nonlinearities in MODFLOW – the industry standard software. Along with his in-depth knowledge of MODFLOW he also has experince using MODFLOW SURFACT, MODHMS and FEFLOW.

Andrew has over 12 years experience in groundwater conceptualisation and numerical modelling, focusing on impact studies from mine and infrastructure development, water allocation and dewatering situations. He joined AGE in 2006 after almost 11 years with the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Water (NRW), where his focus was on the numerical simulation of groundwater for water allocation and planning purposes.

In his previous role within the Department of Natural Resources and Water, he was involved in the technical review and assessment of dewatering impact models in relation to the granting of water licences, so he has seen the process from different points of view.
