Perth, Western Australia
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaul Branson is a coastal research scientist and tech-savvy engineer with nine years of experience applying computational and physical modelling to coastal hazard and wave-climate problems. Based in Perth, he combines a PhD in Coastal Engineering/Oceanography and a background in computer science to deliver practical, high-performance solutions—from simulating 26,000 cyclones to deriving a spectral transfer function that sped wave-climate estimates by over 80x. His work spans field experimentation (including designing a bespoke glass-bottomed flume for 3D flow observation), academic research as an adjunct at UWA, and applied projects at CSIRO that directly inform coastal planning. Paul is adept at translating complex physical processes into scalable computational tools, reflecting a rare blend of hands-on laboratory ingenuity and large-scale modelling proficiency.
