I have employed these skills and techniques for solving cross disciplinary
problems and bringing new fields together with interdisciplinary areas.
The end
user applications that have benefited from my work include Defence,
healthcare and environment.
Currently,
I am
leading an Australian Research Network bid for
the emerging area of Sensors
and Sensor Networks to be administered by the University of
Melbourne. The network will have the participation of 40 world class
researchers from various institutions including MIT, Cambridge, University of
Melbourne, Louisiana State Univ. One of the most important goals for this
centre is to bring researchers from Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and
Mathematics to work on challenging problems with immediate benefit to society.
Collaboration
The
research has made special links with Australian industry providing innovative
solutions to many practical problems such as smart sensor scheduling algorithms
for target tracking in Defence, content based search engines for security
analysis, electronic monitoring of fish species, automotive engine control,
automatic target recognition, auto scaling of ionograms, option pricing and
financial models, portfolio management, weather monitoring, and modelling of
blast furnaces. I have extensive collaboration with over 100 researchers
(including my students) from many countries including USA, U.K, Japan, Canada,
India and eight different Australian industries. As a result of taking much of
my theory to practice, a commercial software product intelligent warehousing
(ICS) is currently used as part of an overall package by the organisation and in
addition, there is a provisional patent in search engines for internet
technology industry. Much of the research work has also been found to be
valuable by the Australian Industry and other research organisations. This has
been demonstrated by the continuous financial support from these bodies and by
the establishment of active collaborative links.

Sensor
Networks (www.sensornetworks.net.au)
The
convergence of the internet, communications, and information technologies with
techniques for miniaturized sensors has placed the field of sensor information
technology at the threshold of a period of major growth. There is increasing
evidence that the new emerging technologies can decrease the size, cost of
sensors and sensor arrays by orders of magnitude and increase their spatial and
temporal resolution. In this regard, it is important to observe the current
international trend: The National Science Foundation (NSF) has committed for a
fundamental research program of over US$33million p.a in sensors and sensor
networks, the Taiwanese government has committed $750 million for sensor
technologies and US government has released a figure of $4.5 billion commitment
for works related to sensors and applications including defence. The compelling
question is: What can we do with these sensors in order to exploit their
potential fully. The current challenges are developing highly innovative
techniques to make sensors smart, to scale well and to apply for problems and
areas that were previously not considered. In order to meet the future demands,
it is necessary for sensor systems to leverage and incorporate projected
advances in adjacent technologies such as nanofabrication, bio-systems,
massively distributed networks, wireless communication technologies, control and
signal processing, ubiquitous computing, information and decision systems. The
end user applications, in defence, healthcare and environment, are highly
exciting and valuable to the community, and include projects such as bush fire
detection (tiny networked sensors activated at bush fire to communicate location
and spread), sensor monitoring of vast agricultural fields (bio-degradable
networked sensors used to determine the nutrition and health levels for healthy
crops), unmanned aerial vehicles for aerial surveillance and monitoring,
intelligent transportation system (autonomous vehicles equipped with smart
networked sensors navigating through GPS support), biodegradable sensors
monitoring ocean health (ref. world bank project for protecting the health of
Great Barrier Reef), smart monitoring of body function (with liquid sensors
mapping the body dynamics) and integrated sensor management and monitoring for
healthcare (ability to provide diagnostic services via communication of
important information to central nodes for processing).
In order to
fully achieve the benefit of these challenging applications, there is a serious
need to solve many fundamental scientific problems in the areas of intelligent
sensors, biomimetic systems, nonlinear control, machine learning, stochastic
scheduling, sensor fusion and tracking. Many of the scientific challenges call
for skills from interdisciplinary areas for providing viable practical
solutions. Having worked on cross disciplinary and inter disciplinary areas at
the highest levels, I have the vision to lead and steer the field with active
contributions from some of the best academics and industries and from my
contributions in the core areas of control engineering, optimization, adaptive
learning and signal processing. Our fundamental research projects that
contribute to the long term visionary areas are
