Research Themes

Dr Steve has active research interests in the sustainable/resilient built environment.  Since completing his PhD in 2001, he has published a series of peer-reviewed papers in international academic journals. The results of his research have been applied to his design and construction of low-energy buildings. Importantly, because of the way the research was formulated, the results have enabled Corporations as well as Indigenous communities to easily learn and practically apply the material preparation and construction techniques to their own building projects.  Dr Burroughs has led many training courses, and in some cases established training centres, for transferring skills to local Indigenous people
