I obtained my PhD in 2002 from the School of Electrical Engineering and ComputerScience, University of Newcastle, in Australia. After a year as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Business and Technology Laboratory in the University of Newcastle, Australia, I joined the School of IT at James Cook University, Australia. I have been actively involved in working on broad areas of geoinformatics and intelligence informatics. My research interests include geospatial data mining, multiple classifiers, geospatial databases, conceptual spaces, Web 2.0, map segmentation, clustering, geo-visualisation, internet of things, and Voronoi tessellations. Currently, I am working for intelligence and health informatics for the Tropics.

Immersive virtual reality in a northern Queensland haemodialysis unit: A cross-over randomised controlled feasibility trial.
- Indicative Funding
- $18,000 over 2 years (administered by Townsville Hospital and Health Service)
- Summary
- This study will explore the feasibility and acceptability of an immersive VR experience for patients attending a north Queensland haemodialysis service and provide information to inform a multi-centre randomised controlled trial. Over the 4 week intervention period, participants will be offered a headset with vision of the local natural environment and with audio. Outcomes will be measured by participants: acceptability and usability of VR; attendance at scheduled dialysis sessions and adherence to lifestyle modifications; wellbeing, anxiety and depression; adverse events such as nausea. The feasibility and acceptability of the equipment from the clinicians? perspectives will also be explored.

JCU Spawning Potential app development
- Indicative Funding
- $37,500 (administered by World Wide Fund for Nature Australia)
- Summary
- The central biological measure of success for the ?Community- Based Sustainable Development in Solomon Island and PNG Coastal Communities? projects are trends in the Spawning Potential Ratio (SPR) of key target species. This Project seeks to refine the Spawning Potential Survey (SPS) App (JCU FISH) to include spatial reporting tools that can be utilised by survey participants to monitor spatial and temporal trends in SPR. This project extends from an earlier ?proof of concept? project funded by the WWF Ocean Practice where the potential for automatic identification and measurement of target species from a single image was realised.

Fisheries Research & Development Corporation - Annual Competitive Round
Application of a machine learning approach for effective stock management of abalone
- Indicative Funding
- $115,649 over 2 years
- Summary
- Determining the number and size distribution of abalone present at various stages of production is critical information for effective stock management. Currently the Australian abalone aquaculture industry spends in the order of $25,000 per annum, per farm, gathering this information by hand. However, the resulting data is of mediocre quality, is limited in its scope, and collecting the data causes stress to the animals which can compromise growth and survival. Automated counting and measuring of abalone will increase farm efficiency and productivity in the short term and, in the longer term, will provide an advanced platform for further R&D improvements. Artificial intelligence and machine learning has now matured to a point that accurately counting and measuring abalone is possible using this approach. This project would involve the development, training and validation of a machine learning model to identify, segment and measure quantitative abalone traits in production systems, and render the product data to be accessible and applicable for farmers.

Develop an autonomous AI vehicle damage assessment tool
- Indicative Funding
- $50,000 over 1 year, in partnership with Hello Claims Pty Ltd ($50,211)
- Summary
- Development of a practical means and method for automated detection, identification and categorisation of vehicle panel damage using AI, deep learning and selected semantic segmentation networks. Semi-Supervised methods will be investigated to minimize the requirements on hand made training data (archived damaged vehicle images) and research will be conducted to determine the possibility to build a minimum viable product (MVP) directly onto the existing platform architecture.
