Research Degree Supervisor

About me

I joined the University of South Australia in 2012 as Chair of Sensor Systems in the School of Engineering. Prior to that I was Professor of Aerospace (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) at RMIT University in Melbourne.

In my career I have been an academic researcher and have also spent 12 years as a civil servant with the Australian Department of Defence. I have published over 100 full length scientific publications. My research, regardless of topic, is always multidisciplinary, collaborative and on the boundary between applied and theoretical. My research experience has included operations analysis, flight trials, space exploration, neuroscience, anatomy, manufacturing technology, behavioural biology, military strategy and government process.
