Colin Lemmon (JCU IT discipline) and I have worked on packet
routing in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks:

Networks, Colin Lemmon and Phillip Musumeci, IEEE Transactions on
Mobile Computing, vol. 7 no. 1 January 2008 (abstract);
Cooperative Behaviour of Location Aware Nodes in Ad-hoc
Networks, Colin Lemmon and Phillip Musumeci, IEEE-DEST 2007, February
2007, Cairns, Australia. (abstract)

We have also investigated geographic coordinate data updates (with data
compression) and trust management in Ad Hoc Networks.
Ben Guy (Urban Circus), Nic Bidwell (JCU IT discipline), and I have
considered how games engine technology might apply to city (or built
environment) planning:

Genevieve Coath (RMIT) and I have worked on image analysis algorithms
for RoboCup. Some of our work to produce a RoboCup vision system that was
not dependent on known object colouring is described in:
News May 2007: Genevieve has completed a PhD in the Dynamic Systems and
Control Group, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Uni of Melbourne.
I have led small industrial R&D teams developing Ultra High Speed
Continuous Paper Inkjet Printers.

Dusseldorf 2000 DRUPA trade show using a Dimuken paper transport
system); XAAR inkjet print heads
(Cambridge UK); core team members who completed PhD study are Evan
Greensmith (ANU Systems Engineering 2005) and James Webb (UNSW/ADFA
Electrical Engineering 2009).
Optimal Filtering and Array Processing: My PhD
(Optimal Array Processing for Seismic Inversion, ANU, supervisor
Darrell Williamson) developed 2-d/3-d array processing algorithms and 1-d
seismic inversion algorithms for use in tomographic analysis of earth
structures. Selected papers:

Image Coding: I have worked in a team performing
research on coding algorithms that efficiently handle digital image
sequences at different (but related) spatial resolutions from HDTV to
videophones.
This collaborative work involved ADFA, Telstra, Siemens, with
Australian Government support, and was based at ADFA, Canberra.

Modern Control Applications: I worked with Bob
Bitmead in the ANU Systems Engineering Department on design and
implementation of optimal control algorithms to control speed of steam
turbines driving sugar milling units. This work led to better quality of
control from less actuator use, allowing the plant to run more
productively. This collaborative work involved ANU Systems Engineering and
Bob Bitmead (now at UCSD Mech and Aerospace Eng), the CSR sugar mill at
Ingham (also the site of trials), and was funded by CSR.
Microprocessor/DSP Real-time Systems:
Application areas include mechanical harvesters, automotive body flexing
analysis (Ford/RMIT), audio compression and embedded unix (Trio Datacom),
fire station monitoring (CFA), reptile monitoring (JCU).
