designing control systems to automate various different industrial processes.
For 5 years he designed microprocessor based control systems for companies
such as Ford, Pilkington Glass, Webtek and Blue Circle Southern Cement. He
then moved to Deakin University in 1992 and wrote their first electronics
units. Using his industrial experience he designed one of the first Australian
Engineering degrees in Mechatronics that still runs at Deakin University. He
currently lectures units in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. His research
