Biography

I am a Senior Principal Researcher in CSIRO's Data61. My research is in software engineering, software architecture, and blockchain. I am a co-author of the book Architecture for Blockchain Applications. I represent Australia in the international standardization committee on blockchain ISO/TC 307, under Standard Australia’s leadership of that committee, am on the steering committee for Australia’s National Blockchain Roadmap and co-chair its working group on Supply Chains, and am on OECD’s Blockchain Expert Policy Advisory Board.

In 2019 I was the acting director of the Data Standards Body for the Consumer Data Right (Open Banking) during the version 1.0.0 release of those data standards. Previously I was a research group leader for the Software Systems group in Data61 and previously the Empirical Software Engineering research group in NICTA. In 2014 I spent a year as the Systems Engineering team leader at Saluda Medical, a medical device startup spun out of NICTA. Earlier at NICTA I was the founding leader of the Fraunhofer Project Centre in Transport and Logistics at NICTA, and led the creation of the Future Logistics Living Lab with Fraunhofer and SAP Research.
