Over the course of my career, I have worked as a researcher, educator, academic, and engineer. Through positions in Norway, Singapore, and Australia I have had the privilege of seeing and experiencing professional and educational interactions from very different cultural and institutional perspectives. This helps me to contribute better and more wisely in whatever role I find myself in.
Education
PhD Melb, BEng(Elect) QUT, DipTh ACT
Research Interests
Modelling and analysis of systems to understand their dynamics, discover shortcomings, find novel solutions, and improve performance. My experience has mainly been in communication networks (including wired, mobile, and emergency/critical) and networked systems.
Teaching Philosophy
I believe university engineering and technology teaching should be grounded in the science, i.e. the foundational concepts. Students are then taught techniques to apply the science to current technologies. This learned way of thinking enables students to quickly understand future technologies and techniques beyond their degrees. Students are then furnished with the strong foundations and necessary thinking and analytical skills to continue their development throughout their careers.
