I am an Emeritus Professor and previously the Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Enterprise at the University of Technology Sydney where I was responsibile for the university's strategy around innovation and entrepreneurship as well as industry engagement. Prior to this I was Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Research at UTS and before that I spent 27.5 years working at IBM in Australia, the USA and China in a variety of technical and leadership roles in systems engineering, development and research.

My interests cover a wide spectrum of science and technology, including computer science, mathematics, data science and artificial intelligence. I am interested not just in the application of new technology but in understanding the implications of that technology for society.
