• Develop and maintain ML strategy for the Tyton AI environmental monitoring product• Coordinate with data science, dev and spatal team leads on product strategy and design• Supervise ML engineers

Perth, Western Australia, Australia

• Design and implement biologically inspired models and algorithmsto achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)• Design algorithms that are suitable to be implemented on hardwarewith low power, low latency and on-chip learning• Collaborate with neuroscientists to understand the architecture andfunction of the cortex and other brain regions• Develop POCs to demonstrate new methods to researchers, clientsand shareholders• Document, patent and publish novel models and algorithms• Experiment with state of the art and novel inhouse models on audio denoising• Tools: Python, Git, Jira, Linux CLI, Tensorflow, Pytorch

My research is on the development of a novel connectionist network and algorithms for lifelong learning of temporal patterns from event streams. This involves a system that can:• Perform unsupervised learning, including perceptual grouping, in a spiking neural network• Learn a series of tasks without forgetting previous tasks and transferring knowledge to learning subsequent tasks• Continually learn in real-time from a stream of event data In this role I have:• Conducted literature reviews of wide variety of academic papers on machine learning and artificial intelligence• Written and presented my research internally and at academic conferencesTools: Java, Python, LaTeX
