I am a Reader, and currently Head of Department, in the
Department of Computer Science, FEIT.
I am an e-Scientist, an educator and
a virtual-reality enthusiast.
I have research expertise in computational plasma
physics, especially as applied to magnetic fusion energy research. In
this field, I have worked closely with theorists and experimentalists
to build models of existing fusion experiments and to anticipate the
design of future experiments. I have held research positions at ANU
and overseas including Germany, Spain, Japan
and the USA.
I was the founding director of the ANU eScience education program and
convened this program for several years since 2000. We invented the concept
of ``eScience'' independently of
the large research and infrastructure program in the UK.
Find out more about this education initiative
here.
I am co-inventor of the Wedge virtual reality theatre. The Wedge was
born in a blues bar in Chicago, which is where Rod Boswell and I ended
up in 1997 following a visit to the CAVE facility at the Argonne
National Laboratory. At this time there had been several proposals to
build a CAVE walk-in, virtual reality theatre in Australia at a cost
of about A$2 million. We decided that it would be possible to build a
cheap theatre having only two walls and to oriented the theatre so
that the viewing was directed towards the vertex. This idea was
innovative in the Australian context (and
internationally, as far as I know)
at the time. We obtained an ANU Major Equipment
Grant in 1997 and the first theatre was
constructed in collaboration with Drew Whitehouse of the ANU
Supercomputer Facility. The
theatre was launched, to great fan-fare, by
the ACT Chief Minister, Kate Carnell, in March 1998. Some 6 Wedge
theatres were subsequently built, 3 of these for external clients
outside of ANU. It is enjoyed by the public at the Powerhouse
Museum in Sydney and at the CSIRO Discovery Centre in Canberra.
A large number of students have programming
completed projects on the Wedge and it represents one of the cheapest,
and most used, virtual reality facilities in the world.
