About me
I am passionate about developing novel Artificial Intelligence technologies to help answer important questions in industry, healthcare, engineering, and Defense. My specific interest is in applied research where domain knowledge combined with data can provide solutions that mainstream “Big Data” and Machine Learning techniques cannot address.
I am curious to learn about new interesting challenges where my research may make a difference. Please contact me if you have such a challenge and are interested in collaborating!
My expertise combines state of the art machine learning & data analysis techniques, natural language processing technologies, and the “traditional” logic based knowledge representation and reasoning techniques used for modelling, configuration, and diagnosis of technical systems.
I have a broad portfolio of applied research collaborations with individual businesses, government, and Defence organisations. My research has helped overcome data silos and provide intelligent tools for Asset Management, Health Care, Oil & Gas and steel industries, Waste Management, Sustainable Development, Transportation, the Government sector, and Defence. I have also developed intelligent tools for configuration and fault diagnosis in software systems, technical systems, and associated business processes.
As a Senior Lecturer in the Industrial AI Research Concentration at UniSA, I am experienced in leading junior researchers and accustomed to collaborating with a variety of stakeholders in industry, government, and research institutions. My strong links with industry and Defence have resulted in a line of successful research projects on data platforms for engineering processes (AutoCRC), asset management (CIEAM CRC), scientific data collection (ANDS), health data collection (NECTAR), information management for law enforcement (Data to Decisions CRC), multiple projects in the Defence context (information provenance for network analytics, behavioural simulation models, data-driven simulation processes) and several industry funded projects related to data-driven optimisation in a variety of application areas. Overall, I have received ~$3.88M project funding in the last 5 years. Moreover, I was a Chief Investigator of 1 ARC Discovery Project grant, led the research directions of 5 postdoctoral fellows, graduated 8 PhD students, and published over 90 scientific peer-reviewed papers.
I am a member of the Industrial Artificial Intelligence Research Concentration and the Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering Lab at UniSA.
If you wish to apply for a PhD student position in our lab please include the following information: outline of your proposed research project, description of relevant academic and professional experience, full academic transcripts, and whether you are seeking a scholarship.
