PERSONAL QUALITIES

Evil Mad Scientist Labs were ...stunned at the brilliance of using Chupa Chups as engineering components in my prize winning robot Lollybot. I am passionate about software development and teaching and my projects are most often found at the edge of where software and hardware meet.

RESEARCH

My research interests include Formal Concept Analysis, Formal Methods, Distributed Systems, game controller hacking, and Software Engineering. My PhD thesis explored the application of Formal Concept Analysis to increase the usability of Formal Methods, and identify class hierarchies from use case descriptions. My Honours research project implemented a platform-independent GUI framework in Java which enabled remote internet access to a spatial database management system. I have also worked as a research scientist at the Co-operative Research Centre for Enterprise Distributed System Technology (DSTC).
