Professor, Computer Science

Biography

I am currently the Director of Swinburne’s Key IoT Lab and I also lead Swinburne’s Industry 4.0 Program, which is affiliated with the Manufacturing Futures Research Institute. Before that I was Research Director of CSIRO’s ICT Centre and a Professor at RMIT University. Prior to CSIRO and RMIT, I held research and management positions in several 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, Texas; GTE (currently a Verizon) Laboratories in Boston, Massachusetts; and Bell Communications Research (Bellcore) in Piscataway, New Jersey

I have authored/co-authored 227 articles that have received approximately 21,000 citations. I am ranked by Microsoft Academic as one of the Top Authors in the fields of the Internet of Things (2013-2022), Context Awareness (1990-2022), Middleware (1990-2021), and Workflow (1993-2002). According to Elsevier’s Science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators (2022 data update), I am in the 2% of top-cited authors (top 1%, if self-citations are not considered) in both the career and yearly rankings. I am ranked by Microsoft Academic as one of the Top Authors in the fields of the Internet of Things (2013-2022), Context Awareness (1990-2022), Middleware (1990-2021), and Workflow (1993-2002).   I have won numerous awards, including 3 best paper awards in major CORE A*/A-ranked international conferences, 3 major organization-wide research awards from CSIRO and Swinburne, and 4 state iAwards from the Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA).

My personal research has attracted $60.5M external research funding from industry and government research funding sources in Australia, EU, and USA. In the past 5 years in Swinburne, I am/was the lead CI or a CI of 20 industry/government-funded research projects that have been/are awarded $47.5M of research grants and include a $19.5M funding allocation to Swinburne.

I have more than 10 years of executive organizational leadership experience in world class research organisations. In conjunction to the above leadership roles, I have led or co-led 7 large-scale, cross-disciplinary initiatives of major impact and influence that raised $100M+ of research funding for my organisation, including: Swinburne's Industry 4.0 program, CSIRO's Human Services Delivery Research Alliance (HSDRA) with the Department of Human Services, Digital Water ManagementTrasformation in the Water Information Research and Development Alliance (WIRADA) between CSIRO and BoM, CSIRO’s Smart Farming, and Telcordia Information Awareness.
