Research Interests
My research falls into two categories:
- Fundamental algorithmic issues in computer science, often expressed in PhD supervisions. Currently I supervise PhD projects in bioinformatics (analaysis of DNA and proteins), compilers for multi-cellular parallel computers, and analysis and visualization of the data from multi-beam sonars. Recently, I have also been involved in projects in extensible languages, and underwater speech recognition. I am interested in human-interface technologies and applications.
- The application of digital repositories, expressed in some personal research and cross-disciplinary and international projects. My interests cover the improvement of research impact through open-access repositories, ancillary visualization software such as download data, and citation analysis. I am also working with other disciplines to enable them to use the facilities of digital libraries.
See also my grant and supervision record (mostly since 1999).
Research Areas:Teaching
My main role in the School is in research and research training. However, I teach a two week Summer School every year in mobile computing, usually attended by 40+ Honours students, Master of Computing students, and Master of Information Technology students. I also give seminars and training courses to PhD candidates and PhD supervisors.
