Biography
Andrew is a demographic and tourism researcher with a particular interest in modelling future population scenarios for the Northern Territory and other remote parts of Australia. He is a member of the Australian Population Association and co-chaired the organising committee for the Association’s 14th Biennial conference held in Alice Springs in 2008.
Andrew is undertaking major work on population projections for the Northern Territory and Indigenous mobility as part of his Doctoral candidature. He has extensive experience in the collection, manipulation and analysis of official data sets having managed Indigenous and social survey sections during his ten years with the Australian Bureau of Statistics prior to joining academia.
Andrew was a lead researcher on a project examining the potential for four-wheel-drive tourism to enhance the livelihoods of people in remote and desert areas of Australia. Previously he developed the data architecture for an online tourism information system. His Master’s thesis modelled and critically evaluated the marketplace for tourism information in Australia.
