Hello and welcome to my website. This webpage provides a brief overview of my career history, teaching areas and research expertise. Best Wishes, Greg.

Teaching

I have taught a diverse array of units at the undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate level including:

  • COMP160: Internet Publishing
  • COMP290/COMP490: Internet Security
  • COMP303/503: Decision Support Systems
  • COMP395/COMP588: Information Technology Project
  • COMP599: Computing Science/IT Thesis
  • MATH260: Probability and Simulation
  • SCI501: Special Topics in Science A
  • SCI502: Special Topics in Science B
  • STAT502: Advanced Topics in Statistics B: Geostatistics
  • STAT504: Advanced Topics in Statistics D: Multi-Level Models

Other areas of teaching include biophysics lecturing, honours, masters and doctoral candidate supervision.

Research Interests

I have a diverse range of research interests ranging from fundamental and theoretical studies all the way through to specific applications. A common theme throughout is the use of computational intelligence and data science methodologies. My doctoral research concerned the development of computer algorithms and software for cancer detection. I have since engaged in a wide range of projects in other disciplines with my primary focus areas being agriculture, ecology and health.


Major projects for 2015 include:
  1. Wild Dog Alert and Electronic Shepherd,
  2. automated animal welfare monitoring algorithms and technology,
  3. intelligent software for biosecurity threat detection,
  4. real-time decision support using SMART FARM sensor networks.
