About me
Doctor of Philosophy The University of Adelaide
I am a member of the Scheduling and Control Group in the Centre for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. I work on optimization problems with a special interest in optimal train control; applied analysis and operator approximation with a special interest in inversion of operator pencils that are singular at the origin; and applied probability with a special interest in maximum entropy methods for rainfall modelling. I have also worked on water strorage in a series of dams and on optimal methods for compression and reconstruction of electronic signals.
