About me

I joined the University of South Australia in 2010 as a Research Professor of Autonomous Systems at the Defence And Systems Institute (DASI) and was appointed Director in 2012. I graduated from Cambridge University in 1989 with a PhD in Engineering. Before moving to South Australia to join the Defence Science and Technology Organisation in 1991, I worked as a research consultant for a number of commercial and government organisations in Europe.

I have published two books and authored around 300 peer-reviewed book chapters, journal articles, research reports, and conference papers. My research has also informed governmental and international bodies and been cited as evidence in a number of criminal trials. I am on... Read more
