Biography

Shortly after completing my degree early in 2005 I began working with the Autonomous Systems Laboratory at QCAT in Brisbane. Since then I have been involved in several projects in the field of Wireless Sensor Networks. Work for these various projects has involved the use of different realtime operating systems such as TinyOS, Fleck Operating System and Contiki. The highlights so far have been the successful autonomous bull separation and autonomous virtual fencing experiments.
