Biography

I am currently a Senior Principal Research Engineer with the CSIRO Mining Technology Group. During the last several years, I have worked extensively on the commercialisation of the CSIRO Award winning Landmark Longwall Automation technology (LASC).

As Research Integration Leader, my role provides strategic direction to the research group regarding industry trends and research capabilities. I build and maintain relationships with external industry partners and research institutions to foster collaborative opportunities.

I lead the team providing development and production support of LASC longwall automation, a solution which is now operating on a commercial basis in 16 Australian underground mines, representing 60% of all Australian longwalls. My role has been to provide technical direction and resource leadership to ensure ongoing development of the LASC automation technology.
