Biography

Associate Professor Damien Giurco is Director (Research Outcomes) at the Institute for Sustainable Futures. He serves on the Institute’s Steering Group and leads the development and implementation of both research and communication strategies to strengthen the quality and impact of ISF research.

Concurrently, he is Research Director for the thematic area of Resource Futures. With a focus on industrial ecology, integrated resources planning and responsible production and consumption – Damien has worked collaboratively with government and industry clients spanning the minerals, water, waste and energy sectors to create change towards sustainable futures.

Project Highlight: Mineral Futures Collaboration Cluster
Damien leads the UTS component of the Mineral Futures Collaboration Cluster. Together with five other universities, this three year, CSIRO-funded project is researching how Australia's mineral resources could be utilised to deliver long term national benefit. To date, it has explored the implications of peak minerals for Australia, developed ‘Vision 2040: Innovation in mining and minerals’ as a future vision for mining in the decades ahead and proposes a National Minerals Strategy for the management of resources to advantage Australia in the Asian Century.

Project Highlight: Smart Metering for Urban Water
In this ARC-Linkage project with MidCoast Water, Damien leads a team researching the future role of smart metering in sustainable urban water futures. In particular, the project seeks to understand how access to dynamic information on water use will affect householder behaviours and management of water by utilities in the information age.
