Biography

I am currently studying for a PhD in Information Technology, supervised at the The University of Sydney by Prof. Albert Zomaya, and co-supervised at CSIRO by Dr. Mikhail Prokopenko.
I am investigating the information dynamics of distributed computation in self-organised multi-agent systems.
Prior to commencing my Ph.D. studies, I spent 5 years as a research engineer at Telstra Research Laboratories.
My research interests include information dynamics in complex systems, self-organisation, ICT applications development, and service management.
