Biography

Jenny has a multidisciplinary education and research background in engineering, accounting, and finance/economics. She also has extensive industry experience working as an analyst and accounts manager in the banking and real estate sectors. She has collaborated with Australian governments (including the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), Queensland Rail), industry sectors (Rio Tinto, SunWater), professional parties (PWC, KPMG, BDO), and institutes/universities (UQ, QUT, Griffith Uni., etc). Jenny’s current research interests include climate/sustainable finance, Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), Environmental, social, and governance (ESG), and innovative financial tools (e.g., weather index insurance) for risk transfer. Jenny was also a member of the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) at the Australian Sustainable Finance Institute (ASFI), 2022-2023. The TAG is an expert group of key financial market stakeholders and subject matter experts to provide technical input and advice to deliver the ASFI Taxonomy initiative, which aims to develop an Australian sustainable finance taxonomy and ultimately support the transition to net-zero emissions goals. Over the year, three relevant consultation reports were delivered. Jenny has been awarded the CFA Institute's Certificate in ESG Investing. Jenny has recently secured the ARC Early Career Industry Fellowship grant ($431,000) in the inaugural round (2023). She is the only successful applicant from UniSQ in the past two rounds (2023, 2024), and the only one nationwide with FoR code 3502 (Banking, finance and investment).

Project titleDetailsYear
ARC Early Career Industry FellowshipsThis project aims to customise weather index insurance (WII) by utilising machine learning techniques. WII is used as a type of risk management tool in the agriculture sector to transfer risk due to extreme weather events. Significantly this project expects to establish an accurate correlation between insurance payouts and actual losses and thus improve the WII uptake rate. This will effectively support farmers and agribusinesses in Australia to mitigate and adapt to climate change, help reduce the impact of climate change and ensure crop production and food security.($431,000)2023
