in the area of Computer Vision. He lectured Robotics at Queen's, and then
joined QUT in 1993 as an Associate Lecturer. He then became a Lecturer in 1996
and a Senior Lecturer in 1998 at QUT. He was also the Director of a research
Centre from 1998-2002. In Jan. 2003, he joined the Department of Computer
Science and Software Engineering at The University of Western Australia (UWA)
as an Associate Professor and was promoted to Professor in 2007. He has been
the Head of the School
of Computer Science and
Software Engineering at UWA since February 2007. He was an Erasmus Mundus
Scholar and Visiting Professor in 2006 at the University of Edinburgh.
He was also Visiting Professor at CNRS
(Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) and Telecom Lille1, France in
2009, the Helsinki University of Technology in 2006, and the University of
Bourgogne and Paris 13 in France in 2002-2003. He is the co-author of the book
``Object Recognition: Fundamentals and Case Studies'', Springer-Verlag, 2001.
He won the “Best Supervisor of the Year” Award at QUT. He also received an
award for research supervision at UWA in 2008. He published over 120 journal
and conference publications. He served as a guest editor for a couple of
special issues in International journals, such as the International Journal of
Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence (IJPRAI). He was selected to
give conference tutorials at the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV)
and the International Conference on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing
(IEEE ICASSP). He organized several special
sessions for conferences; including a special session for the IEEE
International Conference in Image Processing (IEEE ICIP). He was on the program
committee of many conferences e.g. 3D Digital Imaging and Modeling (3DIM) and
the International Conference on Computer Vision. He also contributed in the
organisation of many local and international conferences. His areas of interest
include control theory, robotics, obstacle avoidance, object recognition,
artificial neural networks, signal/image processing and computer vision
