Biography
Research Scientist / Engineer with CSIRO Data61's Remote Sensing and Image Integration team, with expertise in: image and (digital) signal processing; Bayesian modelling, analysis, inference and learning; sequential Monte Carlo methods (particle filters); statistical data analysis, statistical spatial modelling, and data fusion methods; real-time systems; high-performance / parallel computing and numerical simulation methods (Markov Chain Monte Carlo); data cube technologies for archival and processing of remote sensing data.
Significant experience in the following application domains: environmental mapping / monitoring using remote sensing data (optical, radar and sonar); environmental and climate modelling (vegetation, water resources, extreme weather events); room acoustics modelling; speech processing and enhancement; microphone / sensor arrays; dynamic target tracking.
Other skills: fluent in English, French and German; proficient with several coding / programming languages (C/C++, Matlab, R, Python, Assembler, batch scripting, etc.); coding for high-performance / parallel implementations; excellent written / oral communication skills; excellent problem solving and learning skills.

Other Interests
I am interested in applying my knowledge of signal processing and statistical techniques to various fields of scientific research (e.g. robotics, sensor networks, biomedical engineering / imaging, finance, etc.) and gaining new skills in the process (e.g. machine learning, programming languages, new application domains, etc.). Essentially, I am passionate about working on applied and challenging engineering / scientific problems as part of a dynamic and creative research and development team.
