Biography
Dr. Keith Hayes is a senior research scientist at CSIRO Data61 and leads the Data61 Quantitative and Probabilistic Risk Assessment (QPRA) team in the Hobart laboratories. The team conducts probabilistic risk assessments, and supporting studies, typically for challenging problems across large spatio-temporal scales. Recent applications include risk assessments for genetic control of malaria vectors in Africa (https://fnih.org/our-programs/geneconvene/technical-advice) and the impacts of new coal resource developments on water resources and water-dependent assets (http://www.bioregionalassessments.gov.au/). Dr. Hayes is currently leading the National Environmental Science Program (NESP) project designed to assess the cumulative risks associated with proposed offshore wind farms in the Gippsland declared area (https://www.nespmarinecoastal.edu.au/project/4-7/).
