About
I commenced my academic career in 1981 as a Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne, specialising in camera calibration, close range photogrammetry and optical metrology. In my 20 year career as an academic at University of Melbourne i rose to the level of Associate Professor. In 1998 I was seconded to the Faculty of Engineering as Assistant Dean (IT and Multimedia).
In 2003 I was appointed as Associate Dean (Learning and Teaching) in the Faculty of Engineering at RMIT. After a period as Dean (Academic Development) in the College of Science, Engineering and Health, I moved across to the School of Mathematical and Geospatial Science as a teaching and research academic. I retired in 2020 but still hold an appointment as Honorary Professor in STEM College.

Teaching interests
Prior to my retirement I delivered courses on advanced survey computations, photogrammetry and professional practice.
Research interests
Prior to my retirement I have been active in research in photogrammetry at close range, for example collaborative research with NASA on the structural dynamics of aerospace models, with the University of Western Australia on underwater assessment of marine fish populations and habitats, with Australian National University on the characterisation of solar concentrators for energy generation and with CSIRO Marine Research on deep water towed bodies. My most significant contribution has been in the development of calibration algorithms and techniques for digital cameras.
I am no longer active in research.
