She is currently a deputy dean and professor in the Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies at AUT. Suzanne was a full professor in the School of Built Environment at Massey University in Auckland. Wilkinson has a PhD in construction management, and a BEng (Hons) in civil engineering, both from Oxford Brookes University, UK. She also has a graduate diploma in business studies (dispute resolution) from Massey University. Her current research focuses on disaster management, construction innovation, resilience and smart cities. She is interested in how cities, communities and organisations, including construction organisations, plan for disasters and manage hazard events and how to make them more resilience. At the moment she is working on ideas on construction climate mitigation.[3]
