Following completion of an undergraduate degree in
Electrical Engineering at Memorial University of Newfoundland, I
attended Cambridge University in England where I completed a PhD in
robotics. Subsequently I held teaching and research positions at
Cambridge University, the University of British Columbia (UBC) and
Memorial University of Newfoundland. These appointments included an
NSERC Chair in Industrial Automation at UBC and the J.I. Clark of
Intelligent Systems for Operations in Harsh Environments at
Memorial University.
My teaching activities cover a range of electrical and mechanical
engineering topics including of electric circuit concepts,
kinematics and dynamics, robotics and engineering design projects.
I also teach graduate courses in the area of robotics and
automation, computer vision and adaptive pattern recognition.
Currently my research is in the areas of telerobotics, machine
vision and pattern recognition for applications in the resource
industries (i.e. mining, oil & gas, aquaculture and fisheries,
and forestry). Recent project collaborators include C-CORE, INCO
Ltd., the European Space Agency, Baader-Canpolar, Petro-Canada, the
Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the Canadian Space Agency,
PRECARN Associates, the Canadian Centre for Fisheries Innovation,
the University of British Columbia, Ecole Polytechnique, the
University of Toronto, and the University of Waterloo.
From October 2003 to March 2008 I have been the Dean of Engineering
at Memorial University of Newfoundland. I am currently Acting
Associate Vice-President (Reasearch) at Memorial.
