Ana is a Professor in Water Engineering within Monash Universitys Civil Engineering Department, and Director of the Centre for Water Sensitive Cities, an Interdisciplinary Research Centre involving 50 researchers at Monash University.

She became involved in urban water research in the 90s, studying stormwater management in Yugoslavia and Sweden. She completed her PhD at Aberdeen University in Scotland, where she lectured between 1995 and 2003. Since then shes worked at Monash University, forming a world renowned research group in stormwater management. In 7 years shes attracted $17 million to conduct research on technologies that employ sustainable, innovative ways for treating urban runoff for stream protection and human consumption. Biofiltration developed under her leadership was implemented across Australia and exported to Singapore and Israel. She led the development of MUSIC V4, the industry-recognised tool for design of WSUD systems. She co-leads Australian involvement in a $10 million EU FP7 project PREPARED, that aims to adapt urban water systems to climate change.

She is Associate Editor of Water Research and Water Science and Technology, as well as Chair of the International Working Group on Data and Models, which operates under the Joint Committee on Urban Drainage (IWA/IAHR). Ana is a Fellow of Engineers Australia. She won the 2008 Dean's Award for Excellence in Engineering Research.
