Research Grants

Currently my research is supported with approx. $834,000 per annum from the commonwealth and Industry grants and is committed at this level for the next three years.  I hold four competitive Australian research Council grants  close to the maximum allowed and they total approx $500k per annum.  These grants allow me to be competitive at the international level and engage the industry much more actively for long term research.

The past funding has been through Australian Research Council (ARC), Australian Telecommunications and Electronic Research Board (ATERB), Department of Industry, Technology and Commerce (DITAC), CSIRO Division of Manufacturing Technology, CSIRO Division of Mathematics and Statistics, Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO), Energy Research and Development Corporation (ERDC),Tenix Ltd, Compumedics Ltd,  Broken Hill Proprietary Ltd (BHP), National Australia Bank (NAB), Signal Processing Associates (SPA), Integrated Control Systems (ICS), Australia New Zealand bank, Bureau of Meteorology and Melbourne Information Technology Pvt Ltd..  The majority of these grants are peer reviewed and the details are given below.  It should be noted that ATERB and the bilateral collaborative grants of DITAC are competitive 'grants in aid' and they are typically in the range of $4000 to $6000 and further the university overheads are nill except for commercial grants.
