Craig Russell. Principal Research Engineer, Distributed Privacy Team |
| I have 20 years experience in the design, implementation and operation of large data networks, both in the commercial and research sectors. Prior to joining CSIRO I worked as a network engineer for a tier-2 telecommunications carrier and as a software engineer for a multinational company. I also attained the highest level of industry certification in networking (Cisco Certified Inter-networking Expert, CCIE).
My current area of research and development is in Software Defined Networking (SDN) and its application to cyber-security and network analytics. Together with colleagues at UNSW and AARNet, I have built an Australia wide SDN test-bed spanning 9 university campuses and CSIRO, developed a prototype “connectivity-as-a-service” SDN application and co-founded the Australian SDN Alliance, an informal industry group to promote the adoption of SDN technology. My main focus is the development of research prototypes that can demonstrate the intrinsic value of innovation to industry. |

Farhad Farokhi. Research Scientist, Data Privacy Team |
| Farhad Farokhi is a research scientist at the Information Security and Privacy Group at CSIRO’s Data61. He also holds a Research Fellow position at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Melbourne. Prior to that, he was a McKenzie Fellow at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Melbourne. In 2014, he received his PhD degree in Automatic Control from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden. He received his BSc and MSc degrees in Electrical Engineering (Automatic Control), respectively, in 2008 and 2010 from Sharif University of Technology, Iran. During his PhD studies, he was a visiting researcher at the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Farhad has been the recipient of the VESKI Fellowship from the Victorian State Government and the 2015 Early Career Researcher Award from the University of Melbourne. He was also a finalist in the 2014 European Embedded Control Institute (EECI) PhD Award. His research interests include security and privacy of cyber-physical systems, such as smart grids and intelligent transportation systems. | |
