He has published over 80 peer reviewed papers, over 80% are at ERA [A/A*]. He has over 5000 Google Scholar citations with h-index 31. Google Scholar ranks him 7th globally in Probabilistic Graphical Models, and 3rd globally in Counterfactuals.
He has transferred his research to diverse industries including agriculture, mining, sport, manufacturing, bushfire, water utility, health and education. Recent awards include:
1) 2nd place from a global mining competition OZ Minerals Explorer Challenge 2019 (over 1000 participants from 62 countries);
2) Golden prize (1st place) from Volkswagen in 2019 (digital factory powered by AI);
3) Finalist of SA Department of Energy and Mining’s Gawler Challenge 2020 (over 2k participants from 100+ countries) with his team’s work being considered as “The most innovative modelling” by the judge panel;
4) the top winning team (in collaboration with USC and CSIRO) in AUS/NZ Bushfire Data Quest 2020 using AI to predict fire scar and spread.
He has initiated Smarter Regions CRC bid to empower regional Australia to gain the maximum benefit from the AI revolution and to transform existing industries and grow a technology sector in and for regional Australia.
