Biography
I obtained a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Systems Engineering (Honours) at UniSA in 1997, after which I began my PhD in Telecommunications, also at UniSA (within ITR). During my PhD I researched a number of areas including: satellite networking, middleware (e.g. CORBA), modelling of distributed systems, formal methods (in particular, Coloured Petri nets) and wireless Internet. I completed by PhD, with thesis titled Verification of the WAP Transaction Layer using Coloured Petri Nets, in 2001. Since then I was employed at ITR: first as a Research Associate, then Research Fellow (or Lecturer - Research) and then Senior Research Fellow (Senior Lecturer - Research). In October 2006 I took up an Assistant Professor position at Siridinhorn International Institute of Technology (SIIT), Thammasat University in Bangkok, Thailand.
My general research area of interest is in wireless networking (wireless LAN, mobile ad hoc networks, 3G/4G) and includes: performance and capacity analysis; quality of service (QoS); security; middleware such as service discovery and data sharing; and IP mobility.
In addition to my research and teaching, I am also actively involved in professional associations. I was Secretary of the IEEE South Australia Section for 2 years. I have held other positions within IEEE prior to this. I am also a member of the ARC Communications Research Network (ACoRN), which brings together telecommunication researchers across Australia. I was the ACoRN Local Representative for UniSA in 2005 and 2006. Finally, I have been a reviewer of many papers for international conferences and journals, and have served on the TPC of DSPCS/WITSP since 2004.
