Stuart M. Charters serves as Associate Professor of Applied Computing and Programme Director for the Master of Applied Computing at Lincoln University, New Zealand, where he leads the Computational Agroecology theme within the Centre of Excellence for Designing Future Productive Landscapes.
He earned both his BSc(Hons.) and PhD in Computer Science from Durham University, UK, establishing his foundational expertise in computational methodologies.
His research focuses on Computational Agroecology—applying computing to agricultural ecosystems—Visualisation techniques for complex data representation, and Evidence-based Software Engineering to optimize development practices, reflecting an interdisciplinary bridge between technology and environmental systems.
His 2025 publication on digital tools for land use planning demonstrates consistent scholarly output at the intersection of computer science, urban development, and sustainable land management, particularly addressing New Zealand's challenges with urban expansion on productive soils.
As Programme Director, Charters oversees graduate education in applied computing while leading collaborative research through the Computational Agroecology theme, indicating active mentorship and academic leadership responsibilities.
The Computational Agroecology initiative within the Centre of Excellence represents his primary research infrastructure, focusing on computational solutions for sustainable agricultural landscapes and land-use conflicts.
