Project Manager Campaigns & Emerging / Senior Principal Consultant
Dr Louise Bruce is a Principal Engineer with over 25 years’ experience in the use of numerical methods and data science to support environmental management by combining her scientific knowledge of aquatic ecosystems and numerical methods with engineering design.
From early in her career, Louise has been involved in software development including complex process based environmental models customised as fit-for-purpose applications. Working in lakes, reservoirs, estuaries, coastal and offshore environments to span the catchment to deep ocean continuum. With a passion for making sense of data, Louise is pioneering the use of Environmental Information Models (EIMs) to build a virtual representation of the natural environment, to enable collaboration between stakeholders, regulators, and industry. Louise designs EIMs by combining tools for data sourcing, analytics, management, communication, and visualisation in a single interactive platform to meet the sustainable development goals of our customers.
Louise has a Bachelor of Science (Mathematics), a Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) (Coastal Engineering) and a PhD in Engineering.
