Research

In March 2003 I commenced my PhD under the supervision of A/Prof Bob Kummerfeld and A/Prof Judy Kay. My research is supported by the Smart Internet Technology Cooperative Research Centre (SITCRC), and is in the areas of Ubiquitous Computing and Intelligent Environments. I am particularly interested exploring the technologies required to produce personalised views of invisible items within an Intelligent Environment.

More recently I've been doing an internship with Google in networking.

Personal

Outside of work I enjoy to travel, walk, climb, ride (bicycles and motorcycles), swim, sail and other such things. There's a selection of some photos from my recent adventures in California here.
