ABOUT ME

[ Picture of Me ] I work as a Research Engineer at Curtin University of Technology's Centre for Marine Science and Technology (CMST). I also co-chair the annual Stereoscopic Displays and Applications conference. I served as Director of The Centre for Marine Science and Technology from 2002 to 2004.

My qualifications are in Electronic Engineering (MEng, BEng). My research interests include Stereoscopic Imaging, Stereoscopic Video, Underwater Technology and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs).

I am available for consultancy or for performing contract research and development. Please contact me for further information (contact details below).

I am also supervise several project students:
* (no current students)
* Past Students: Kai Karvinen, Ka Lun YUEN, Daniel Watts, Tegan Rourke, Stanley Tan, Andrew Trang, Kajornsak (KJ) Julavittayanukool, Douglas Offszanka, Greg Martin, Shanaka Dias, Murray Brand.
