I have been working in the ACFR Marine group since 2011. I am an underwater robotics engineer that looks after and deploys our Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Sirius as part of the Integrated Marine Observation System (IMOS). I take out cruises to study sites annually or biannually all around Australia. I also participate in many other underwater research projects involving underwater imaging as well as maintenance and production of new systems.
