Biography
I am currently the Director of the ARC Research Hub for Future Digital Manufacturing, the Director of Swinburne's key IoT Lab, and the University's Industry 4.0 Program program leader. Before that I served as Research Director (2008-2014) of CSIRO’s ICT Centre and a Professor at RMIT University (2014-2016). At CSIRO I led the Information Engineering Laboratory, which was the largest Computer Science research program in Australia. Prior to joining CSIRO, I held research and management positions in industrial laboratories in the USA, including Telcordia Technologies (where I helped found two of Telcordia’s Research Centers in Austin, Texas, and Poznan, Poland); Microelectronics and Computer Corporation (MCC) in Austin; GTE (currently Verizon) Laboratories in Boston; and Bell Communications Research (Bellcore) in New Jersey. I am a CSIRO Adjunct Fellow since 2014.
I have authored approximately 283 journal and conference articles that have received approximately 23,00 citations. According to the October 2022 update of Elsevier’s science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators, he is in the 2% of top-cited authors globally (top 1% if self-citations are excluded) in both career and 2022 rankings. My research has attracted $77.1M of external research grants/contracts. Just in the past 7 years at Swinburne, he was chief/lead investigator in 21 research projects that have been awarded $59.735M of external research funding and include a $31.135M funding allocation to Swinburne. I have also led 7 major cross-disciplinary research initiatives that received approximately $100M of government funding for advancing digital transformation in social services, agriculture, water management, security, and defense. I have received numerus awards that include best paper awards from CORE A/A* conferences, 5 state iAwards, and sevral research impact awards in Australia and the USA. More recently we won the 2023 National iAward for the Public and Government sector in Australia. In Swinburne, I have more recently received a Vice Chancellor’s Innovation Award (2018), and a Faculty of Science, Engineering & Technology’s Research Award (2019).
I have 13 years of executive experience in world class research organisations and I have led 7 large cross-disciplinary initiatives of of major impact and influence that provided 100M+ of research funding.
