Biography

John is a Senior Research Engineer currently working across a number of projects in the energy space. He has a robotics and sensing background which has been applied historically in the aquaculture, and livestock sectors such as the CeresTag smart ear-tag technology, and mollusc biosensor and pond management projects. More recently he has been working in the smart buildings and electricity grid spaces. His current focus is on helping the nation transition to Net Zero through ensuring distributed energy resources including buildings can play an important role in facilitating rapid but stable electrification of our society.

He is a leader in the development and use of CSIRO's Data Clearing House smart building platform, which uses the latest semantic and AI technologies to increase grid flexibility and reduce the CO2 footprint of the built environment sector at scale.

John is also one of the key drivers of the successful and transformative CSIRO Data Shop initiative.

John has led several high profile projects in CSIRO, with major partners such as Microsoft, Telstra, Bureau of Meteorology, and Queensland and Tasmanian Governments, as well as CSIRO's successful Digiscape initiative and a Biosensor Sense-T project which won a Tasmanian iAward.

Other Interests

He also has a keen interest in robotics and has played an active role in its promotion in Tasmania, being a founding member of both "Robotics Tasmania" and "Robocup Junior Tasmania". In these roles he has enhanced both community awareness and student interest in the field, by managing and promoting the Tasmanian Robocup Junior State finals.
