Since October 2017 I am a Senior Lecturer convening the TechLauncher program at the Australian National University. From June 2015 I was a founder at HIVERY, and in 2017 also a Catalyst in Residence at the Michael Crouch Innovation Centre at the Univeristy of New South Wales. Working with industry, I developed data-driven systems that optimize by creating retail-AI technologies which coupled industrial optimisation with machine learning.  From August of 2011 I was at the NICTA (then Data61) Canberra lab and part of CECS at ANU in Canberra. I was working at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Operations Research on solutions to fleet logistics problems. Before that I was a research fellow with the Intelligent Robotics Lab at the University of Birmingham 2008-2011; There I worked on a project investigating cognitive robots that can self-understand and self-extend. I was a researcher with the NICTA lab in Brisbane 2006-2008; There, I worked on fundamental research in AI Search, and simulation studies of city wide evacuation planning. I am the primary author of NMRDPP, runner up in the probabilistic track of the 2004 International Planning Competition. Co-author of ayPlanAgain, runner up in the multi-core track of the 2011 International Planning Competition. Co-author of best paper at the 2010 Pacific Rim International Conference on Artificial Intelligence. Co-author of gNovelty+, winner of the "Random" category at the 2007 International SAT competition.
