Dr Fanny Boulaire

Dr Fanny Boulaire is a research scientist within the Resilient Supply Chains & Logistics team at CSIRO Environment, and is the science functional lead for the Transport Network Strategic Investment Tool (TraNSIT) product, a computer-based modelling tool that provides an evidence-based capability to inform infrastructure investments and policy decisions for transport and supply chains.

Fanny’s core expertise is in the development of accessible decision support tools for government and industry, from model concept to platform delivery.

Since joining CSIRO in April 2021, Fanny’s main role has been to generate innovative methods to quantify the impact of supply chains and transport disruptions from climate disasters as part of the Australian Climate Service (ACS) TraNSIT project, the Supply Chain Resilience (SCR) Modelling project with DITRDCA, the Inland Rail supply chain mapping – phase 3 project and the Supply Chain Benchmarking Dashboard. Fanny has also worked on the DITRDCA funded Road and Rail Resilience Review (RRRR) in 2022 where she developed a novel method to assess and report on the vulnerability of some of the most critical Key Freight Route (KFR) intersections for Australian supply chains.

Before joining CSIRO, Fanny was a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Clean Energy Technologies and Practices, Queensland University of Technology, focusing on the modelling of clean energy applications, including green hydrogen production and export.

With over 10 years’ experience in systems modelling for renewable energy applications, and the last 2.5 in transport and supply chain systems, Fanny has a strong interest in working at the intersection of these two sectors. She is especially interested in decentralised renewable multi-energy plants, especially those including the production of green hydrogen, and how they can be sustainably deployed over both the transport and electricity networks.
