In July 2016 I became an Adjunct Associate Professor in the University and am now Adjunct Professor.
My research relates to Geospatial Science and in particular Earth observation (remote sensing) and Earth positioning. I specialise in radar remote sensing and high spatial resolution visible and near infrared satellite imaging as well as positioning from GNSS (GPS). I work with images from orbiting satellites, aircraft and UAVs and I process image data to information, presenting this in 2D and 3D maps as well as in reports.
I am an adjunct staff member at the International Space University in France and I regularly teach in the Southern Hemisphere Space Studies Program. I currently teach remote sensing at Flinders University in South... Read more
