Alex is an environmental scientist with experience across a range of fields. He graduated from RMIT University in early 2014 with a double undergraduate degree and honours degree in environmental science and environmental engineering. He has also had short stints working for a water management authority in rural Victoria and in environmental consulting. This allowed him to gain experience across topics including atmospheric and soil chemistry, mathematics, hydrology and environmental modelling. His interest in how humans affect the global environment has prompted Alex to pursue scientific research and undertake a PhD at the University of Melbourne studying the global carbon cycle.
