Personal profile

Biography

My PhD is from the University of Cambridge and BSc and Masters from the University of Western Australia. I have held academic positions at the University of Essex, UK, SRI Cambridge and the University of WA.   I am currently Associate Professor (level D) and Head of Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering at UWA.  I am on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Ad Hoc Networks and a professional member of the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery).

Research

My research area is sensor networks and distributed intelligence.  I study how to build sensor systems for data collection across space and time.  My sensor network applications include environmental soil moisture monitoring, rammed earth buildings, public transport tickets, smart water meters and waste water treatment plants.  My research also helps users to gain valuable insights from this data, with efficient methods for data compression and soft sensing, privacy protection for human data, and data mining techniques to discover new insights from the data.  I am an effective and imaginative University teacher with broad teaching experience covering the core curriculum  in the disciplines of Computer Science and Software Engineering, supported by my research in Computer Science Education.
