College of Engineering and Information Technology

My research spans information theory, machine learning, computer vision, visible light communications and indoor positioning. I received my B.Eng., M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees in Information Engineering from The Chinese University of Hong Kong and subsequently worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Princeton University. After joining the University of South Australia in 2009, I moved to the University of Adelaide in 2018 and am now with the School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering (EME) at Adelaide University.

My current research focuses on battery-free visual identification and indoor positioning, machine vision and industrial automation. I am particularly interested in developing positioning and tracking technologies that combine fundamental research with practical deployment in challenging real-world environments. Recent projects with JBS Australia and the Australian Meat Processor Corporation have applied these technologies to industrial safety, carton tracking and smart tools for meat-processing operations.

My research has received funding support from the Australian Research Council, Croucher Foundation and industry partners. A project I led received the 2016 National Award – Consumer Category from the Australian Information Industry Association, and my research has also received IEEE paper awards, including the Best Paper Award at the 2016 IEEE/IET International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks and Digital Signal Processing. My current research provides opportunities for graduate research students in electronic engineering, computer science, applied mathematics and data science who are interested in machine vision, intelligent sensing, indoor positioning and smart manufacturing.

 

MPhil/PhD Research and Scholarship Opportunities

I welcome enquiries from prospective MPhil and PhD students interested in visual positioning, computer vision, intelligent sensing, visible light communications, information theory and data science.

A key research focus is developing an “indoor GPS” that uses cameras and battery-free visual tags to locate and track objects.

Research topics can be developed together to suit your strengths and interests. I am particularly interested in combining mathematical modelling, algorithm development and experiments to generate original insights and methods with broad applications. Collaborations with industry partners provide practical research challenges and opportunities for experimental validation.
