Biography

I have a Ph.D (Otago) in nonlinear dynamics and topological analysis of chaotic systems This was followed by postdoctoral work at the University of Toronto in nonlinear systems, including granular flow and spatio-temporal chaos. I then worked in Boston for Sapient Inc, a high-tech consulting firm, on large data systems for the oil and gas industry, and then for a startup on real-time analysis of video and images.

The main focus of my research is the development of new techniques for measurement, and the implementation of these techniques in novel devices that not only make new kinds of measurement, but also quantify the uncertainty in those measurements. Areas of expertise:

  • Satellite Navigation Systems
  • Radio Imaging Research
  • Agritech
  • Implanatable medical devices
  • Efficient embedded processing architectures
  • Numerical Electromagnetism (nec2++)
  • SympyTeX
