Biography

In his current role, Christian leads a Research Stream in the Sensor and Sensor Networks Transformational Capability Platform (TCP) related to CSIRO's Information Architecture efforts. This stream involves ICT, CMIS and IM&T; presenting a cross-divisional research effort which yields transformational outcomes for CSIRO and it's industry partners. Through his role, he is involved in business development, strategic planning and the scoping and delivery of multiple projects for the TCP.

Since joining the CSIRO in March 2009, Christian leads geographically dispersed research projects that span across multiple laboratories and diverse science areas. He took the responsibility for a software engineering team that is focused on the development of embedded system software for the next generation sensor network nodes and pervasive computing devices. Furthermore, Christian contributes actively to scientific work and business development within the area of the Sensor and Sensor Networks Transformational Capability Platform.

Before joining CSIRO, Christian worked as an Associate IT Architect and Senior Software Engineer in IBM's Software Group. He led technical staff and contributed to the development of IBM's Software as a Service solution LotusLive, IBM WebSphere Portlet Factory, IBM WebSphere Portal and IBM Lotus Workforce Management.
