Biography
Tim Wark is a Principal Research Scientist in the Autonomous Systems Laboratory at CSIRO ICT Centre, Australia. He has worked in a variety of projects around sensor networks ranging from wearable body sensors for indoor monitoring, to long-term, environmental sensing. His current areas of focus are around adaptive energy management of sensor networks and in-network processing of multimedia information. He currently leads a team of scientists and engineers developing the next generation of these long-term, wireless sensing technologies. Tim currently holds Adjunct A/Prof appointments at The University of Queensland and Queensland University of Technology.
