Mathematical modelling and control relating to Fortescue's infinity train project.

Perth, Western Australia, Australia

This project involved the establishment of a robust distributed network, facilitating real-time communication between vehicles through GPS positions transmitted over radio communications. Notably, I contributed to the implementation of an intelligent braking system for heavier vehicles, triggered under specific conditions within geozone-marked regions.When.

Perth, Western Australia, Australia

R&D Design lead for Frontier's 3DPortGuard product. The responsibilities of this role included a redesign of the complete data processing pipeline of 3DPortGuard, a system which processes millions of 3D data points a second from multiple LiDAR devices to track vessels entering ports in 3D space. This new design, successfully builds 3D point clouds models.

Australia

This was a very diverse role. It involved managing clients and engineers, machine learning, software engineering and overall product design and testing. The required skills included becoming very familiar with Benchoff PLC's and automation, programming in a production C++ environment, and troubleshooting LiDAR systems in a remote location. The C++ side.

During this time I was an intermittent course demonstrator and tutor for (GENG1000, MCHA2000, MCHA3000, MCHA3900). This involved a thorough understanding of course content, assisting students with error finding by teaching a logical debug process, and grading. These courses required fluency in technical drawing in CAD software, system modeling and.

Callaghan

I was an assistant researcher for the Mechatronics department, investigating fault-tolerant designs and implementation.

West Wallsend, New South Wales, Australia

This role required many diverse tasks to be completed. These included computer-aided design (CAD) work, thermodynamic analysis to discern windage losses within turbogenerators, and general hands-on plant maintenance and improvement

Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia

This was a short industry placement where I developed an embedded system designed to monitor fatigue of mechanical components. This placement required the comprehension of standards and the successful implementation a rainflow-counting algorithm.

Mechanical Engineering Ph.D., Mechatronics, Robotics, And Automation Engineering, Ph.D. Awarded

My Ph.D. focused on estimation and identification methods for systems that undergo abrupt changes. These `switched’ systems are useful in.

Combined Bachelor Of Mechanical & Mechatronics Engineering, Engineering, Honours Class I, With Deans Medal.

As my combined WAM for this degree was 86, I was awarded a Dean's medal for academic excellence. Because of my consistent performance, I.
