A physicist colleague has asked me to explain to first year Engineering students why it is essential that they study Physics. Click here to read why.
Congratulations to Jerome Bowen who was recently named 2009 WA Young Professional Engineer at the state Engineering Excellence Awards. Jerome is an environment engineer who undertook a sustainable water supply project for Engineers Without Borders. (Click for further information about Environmental Engineering at Murdoch.)
Congratulations to Ben Hesp, one of Murdoch's Electrical Power and Renewable Energy engineering students, who was runner up in the WA heat of the IET Present Around the World Competition. Ben spoke about a current project he is conducting with Western Power to extend the capacity of their supply to Ravensthorpe, in regional Western Australia. His solution includes renewable energy from a wind turbine and short-term flywheel energy storage.
Congratulations to Julian Holmes and Andrew Fraser, recent Engineering graduates where were both awarded the University Medal for outstanding academic performance. This places them both in the top seven graduates for all disciplines of the university. An outstanding performance. To see the entire list of engineering prizes see Student Prizes.

Research Interests
My current work is concerned with the application of computational intelligence techniques to problems associated with fault detection and diagnosis of industrial manufacturing processes.
My research interests are in computational intelligence, reconfigurable computing and software testing. For information regarding my previous research projects please refer to my Biography and Publications pages.
Project Supervision
I have previously supervised a range of final year projects in areas such as embedded systems, computer architectures and software engineering. I am keen to supervise Murdoch undergraduate and postgraduate students on projects related to my current research interests. I have proposed the a number of PhD projects related to my current research but am willing to discuss other projects with students who wish to contact me. See the Projects page for more details.
