A little about me…

I was a principal research scientist and research project leader at CSIRO Digital Productivity Flagship and received my Ph.D from UNSW. I’m a recipient of multiple research grants from the Australian Research Council, CSIRO and industries such as CISCO, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and NVIDIA in the areas of smart buildings, cybersecurity, smart farming, and smart transport systems.

I’m a senior member of ACM and IEEE, and an associate editor of ACM TOSN, the general chair of CPS IoT Week 2020, co chair the program committee of ACM/IEEE IPSN 2023 and ACM Web Conference (WWW 2023, Systems and Infrastructure for Web, Mobile Web, and Web of Things track).
