David Morley not only achieved a perfect score but became the only student to win a medal in all of the first three AMCs.
He went on to a distinguished career of research, development and application of artificial intelligence techniques.
He obtained a BSc(Hons) from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Melbourne in 1984, and later a PhD, at the University of Melbourne, completed in 1999.
His career began with work on machine learning at B.B.J. Computers and then with the Australian Artificial Intelligence Institute in Melbourne, from its founding in 1988, where his work mainly dealt with the Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) model of software agents.
In 2000 he moved to California to work at the Artificial Intelligence Center at SRI International, where he continued working on different aspects of Artificial Intelligence, including development of a new BDI agent system, SPARK, and work on the DARPA CALO project towards an intelligent administrative assistant.
At the end of 2005 he returned to Australia, working full-time for SRI International, as a consultant.
David Chalmers became a member of the 1982 Australian IMO team. More information can be found about his later career as a philosophy Professor at the ANU and in the US by finding his entry at IMO Students.
