Dr Cristyn Meath is the Hub Director, Sustainable Infrastructure Research Hub at the University of Queensland, a Senior Lecturer at The University of Queensland Business School where she teaches Decision Making & Reporting for Sustainability in the Masters of Business, and Co-Founder of the Infrastructure CoLab.
