I received B. Eng. with first-class honours and Ph.D. in computer engineering, from Edith Cowan University, Perth, Australia. I was awarded the University Medal in 2000 as the graduating student with the highest course average.
I have been a Chief Investigator for three ARC Discovery Projects, three Defence Innovation Network Pilot Projects, one Defence Innovation Network PhD Project, and one Qatar National Research Fund grant. I have co-supervised to successful completion 23 HDR students (15 PhD and 8 MPhil), and received Research Paper Awards at 5 international conferences (ICASSP-2016, DICTA-2014, EUVIP-2010, AVSS-2009, ANZIIS-2001).
I also received the Highly Commended Supervisor Award at the 2012 Canon Extreme Imaging Competition and the OCTAL Faculty Early Career teaching award in 2010.
At UOW, I am currently serving as Member of the UOW Thesis Examination Committee, Research Sub-cluster Representative for Electrical/Electronic Engineering (0906), Member of EIS Faculty Research Committee and SECTE School Research Committee.
I am also serving as Associate Editor of IEEE Access journal (impact factor: 3.750), and Section Editor (Sensing and Imaging Section) of Sensors journal (IF: 3.275).
My research is in the areas of image processing, pattern recognition, signal processing, machine learning and artificial intelligence. I focus on developing new algorithms and systems to solve strategic and practical problems in defence, security, healthcare, and industry.
I have published over 110 Scopus-listed papers in international journals and conferences. Several publications appear in high-impact journals, including IEEE Trans. Neural Networks and Learning Systems, IEEE. Trans. Image Processing, Pattern Recognition, IEEE. Trans. Signal Processing, IEEE Trans. Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, IEEE Trans. Geoscience and Remote Sensing. My papers have received over 2040 Scopus citations (h-index: 20), and over 3590 Google Scholar citations (h-index: 26).
Among several research projects, I and my team are currently developing assistive navigation tools for vision-impaired people, sonar image processing algorithms for underwater mine detection, and through-wall radar imaging. I am mentoring a group of highly motivated, hard-working and capable research students.
I conduct research in the Centre for Signal and Information Processing (CSIP) at the Signals, Information and Communications Research Institute (SICOM). I have been a Conference Organizing Committee member for 3 international conferences, and a peer reviewer for numerous high-impact journals and conferences.
