About me
I am a senior lecturer in the department of Electrical and Computer Systems Eng. (ECSE) at Monash University. I am also a contributing research scientist at the Machine Learning Research Group (MLRG) Data61-CSIRO and an associated investigator at Australian Center for Robotic Vision (ACRV).
Before joining Monash University, I spent 5 wonderful years at Canberra Research Laboratory-NICTA, working with prof. Richard Hartley and prof. Fatih Porikli. Prior to that, I worked at Queensland Research Laboratory-NICTA with Prof. Brian Lovell.
I am interested in various aspects of learning, especially with a flavor of visual data (see my google scholar page).

If you are interested in the Monash doctoral program
I always look for motivated and hard-working students who are interested in doing research with me. You can read some of my papers (click here) to get a feel for the type of work that I do. I encourage students to contact me but
You must have good mathematical and computational skills, preferably with prior experience in machine learning and/or computer vision. Strong programming skills in Matlab and Python are also necessary. When contacting me, include a copy of your academic transcripts.
International students. There are two scholarship rounds each year, the main round closes at the end of August. If you want to apply under my supervision, you need to contact me well in-advance (say 6weeks ahead).
This year, I do not accept interns :-(
