Past Research
Real time water consumption data analytics (Academic Mentor)
An AMSI internship project in partnership with Taggle Systems Pty Ltd.
This project involved analysing large volumes Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) data for citywide water supply network in order to identify anomalies, forecast daily demand and help plan water supply for upcoming greenfield developments.
Smart Infrastructure Dashboard (Technical Lead)
In partnership with Sydney Water, Endeavour Energy and REMONDIS.
This project involved sourcing disparate data, storing in an optimised data warehouse, and building an online data visualisation platform to explore and understand the provision and use of utilities services at a regional scale.
Illawarra Data Hub (Lead Investigator)
In partnership with the Australian Urban Research Infrastructure Network (AURIN).
This project involved setting up a data warehouse containing regional utilities data and serving this data using Web Feature Services (WFS) standards to be consumed by the AURIN data visualisation and analysis platform.
