I am Professor and Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellow in the area of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). I have joined Monash University in 2016 to lead the ITS research. Prior to that, I spent 5 years at the University of Melbourne and 11 years at Swinburne University of Technology where I have established and led the Intelligent Transport Systems Lab in a joint partnership with VicRoads. Over the 20 years as an academic and researcher, my positions have included:
