Professional Experience Principal Scientist, CSIRO, Australia 07/2002-present  Lead a team of researchers and engineers. Provide scientific leadership and deliver practical design solutions to broadband wireless networking research and development, including networking system architecture design, performance evaluation, QoS scheduling, and multiuser MIMO technologies.  Designed one of the key patents for multi-band wireless backhaul in the Ngara project. The multi-band aggregation design achieved both work-conserving and in-sequence delivery, and was recognised as a gold standard solution by expert reviewers. The design has been patented and implemented in the Ngara backhaul system. The Ngara project has attracted $10Million from the Science and Industrial Endowment Fund, and has won the Australian Engineering Innovation Award 2013 and the CSIRO Chairman's Medal 2012. The patented backhaul technology was licensed to EM Solutions, an Australian company, to build the fastest and most secure wireless network for an international service provider, which is worth tens of millions.  Made a breakthrough in WLAN performance analysis by creating a 3-D Markov chain, which integrates the IEEE 802.11 system contention resolution and queueing process into one model. This 3-D Markov chain is the first theoretical model that is able to characterise the complete Quality of Service (QoS) measures in IEEE 802.11 systems. This work represents a significant contribution in Markov analysis of WLAN networks. The theory has since been extended and applied in other areas, including LTE relay handover, WLAN localization, Smart Grid, and Internet of Things. A number of papers have been published in IEEE Transactions.  Delivered networking solutions to government and industrial customers, including Optus, AARNet, Nortel, Queensland Health, CityRail, Rio Tinto, and Australian Government Departments.
