Senior research scientist at NICTA and an adjunct at the University of Queensland. Current research interests are in the areas of pattern recognition and computer vision, with applications such as automated video surveillance.

Received the PhD degree in the areas of signal processing and pattern recognition in the context of biometrics. Obtained a "most cited paper" award for an article resulting from PhD studies. Author of a book on biometric person recognition.

Previously worked on robust speech recognition at ATR Laboratories (Japan), audio-visual biometrics at the IDIAP Research Institute (Switzerland), and ship classification in infra-red images at CSSIP (in conjunction with DSTO). Also worked on natural language processing (author identity deduction) and bioinformatics (feature selection for cancer classification) at NICTA.
