I currently manage IT application development for the Australian branch of a multinational
organisation.
In addition to my primary duties, I manage diverse projects across the
business and work on a broad spectrum of activities that fall under the ambit of
data management.
I've also worked as a database architect / developer at a telecom software development
company, where I designed and developed the database infrastructure for a service activation product.
Between 1999 and 2003 I worked as a consultant in Europe and the US. In that period I worked on and managed
several business and technology projects at a variety of clients.
Prior to 1999, I did research in fluid dynamics and other areas of physics. Although my
work on the
flow of polymer melts is
well regarded by others, I think my research
on (what I call)
kitchen-sink" physics is more interesting. The latter has been referenced in the
Flying Circus of
Physics - a book on the physics of the everyday world.
I hold a
PhD in Chemical Engineering from the
University of Queensland
, and a PhD in physics from
Purdue University
