Biography
Professor Cynthia Mitchell is a Research Director at the Institute. Prior to joining ISF, Cynthia lectured in engineering at the Universities of Sydney and Queensland. Her work has challenged technical, end-of pipe, context-independent solutions to sustainability problems. Her research consulting experience spans people-centred (cultural change and learning for sustainability) and techno-centred approaches (life cycle analysis, water cycle management in industrial and urban settings, and a broad suite of water treatment technologies), with implementation strategies incorporating critical thinking, context evaluation, and sustainability criteria development, application, and evaluation. Whilst an academic, Cynthia consulted widely to industry and government, won prestigious Australian Research Council funding for her wetlands work, and was President of the Australasian Association for Engineering Education. Since joining ISF, Cynthia has led projects in sustainable urban form and buildings, learning and education for sustainability, sustainable energy provision, and sustainable water service provision.
