Bio

I am a Software Engineer in the Data Privacy Team at CSIRO’s Privacy Technology Research Group. Previously, I was part of the Software and Computational Systems (SCS) Program at CSIRO Data61. With over 20 years of experience in research software engineering in the academic and R&D sectors, my recent work has involved collaboration on multidisciplinary projects with researchers, students, industry, and government partners.

My focus has been on leading engineering and development efforts to design, implement, and evaluate research-driven solutions for world-class and innovative projects. I specialize in cybersecurity, privacy-preserving technologies, synthetic data generation (including modern data obfuscation), privacy-preserving machine learning, private record linkage, large-scale data mining, secure analytics, big data processing and information retrieval.

I joined the Networked Systems group at NICTA in 2014, where I contributed to mobile content delivery software. In 2015, I transitioned to the Networks group at CSIRO Data61, where I became the main research engineer, significantly contributing to three major projects on privacy-preserving technologies within the Data Privacy Team.

Prior to joining Data61, I worked as a project manager for three years with KLS-Logistic Systems, a company dedicated to warehouse and transport management and optimization.

From 2007 to 2008, I served as a research engineer at the Research Unit in Networking (RUN) at the University of Liège, Belgium. In addition to assisting RUN team members with ongoing research projects, I was responsible for adapting a network positioning systems algorithm for mobility needs in wireless and mobile networks.

From 2005 to 2007, I worked as a software engineer at INRIA Sophia Antipolis, where I was responsible for the design and development of a new software platform for discrete-event simulation called OSA (Open Simulation Architecture).

Current Activities

I am currently engaged in four major projects: the HomeAffairs 6G Future Connectivity Research Project (2023-2024), where I simulate original DDoS attacks within a network that replicates complex 6G conditions and integrate them into an interactive platform to identify potential 6G network vulnerabilities; the CyberBuddy project (2023-2024), focused on developing a cybersecurity platform tailored for SMEs; the AI Waste Auditor Research Project, where I lead the architecture and implementation of the backend infrastructure; and the Future Digital Manufacturing Fund (FDMF) Project, where I contribute to improving the platform to showcase results and interactive analysis for privacy-preserved machine learning (ML) for the EIP deployments.
