I am a Research Scientist at CSIRO's Data61 in the Distributed Sensing Systems group. In my research, I am broadly interested in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). This includes Intelligent and Multi-modal Sensing Systems, Internet of Things (IoT) and Embedded Intelligence.

Prior to the current position, I was a postdoc in CSIRO's Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Future Science Platform. I obtained my PhD in Computer Science from the University of New South Wales in Sydney under the main supervision of Prof. Wen Hu. My PhD background is in Radio-based Sensing.

PhD Scholarship Available

I am seeking domestic Australian PhD students for a CSIRO Industry PhD on Intelligent Edge Computing for Smart Grids with Energy Queensland.

Email me if interested.
