Gavin Walker, CSIRO

Gavin is an experimental scientist with over 30 years experience in information systems, helping data be effective in solving real world problems. He has worked in infrastructure planning, hydrological data sharing, transport simulation, sensor systems, virtual education, government data sharing, market design, and more recently waste. Gavin is examining the managed waste system, looking for new information flows and analytics, for consumers and businesses, with confidentiality. Information can help secure recycled material, from different sources, at low risk of poor quality and disruption, establish product stock requirements, recycled content, durability and recyclability and help consumers identify the condition and substance of products to choose the highest value disposal pathway at the least socio-economic cost.
