My current role involves understanding the research interests and directions of the researchers inside Data61 (a CSIRO business unit) and attempting to match those interests with the needs of CSIRO's business customers. 

Success for me is when our researchers solve important problems that give our business customers a huge competitive advantage. 

In the past I have had experience solving a wide variety of problems, in domains such as:

Bayesian groundwater modelling for coal bed methane gas.

Demand modelling, pricing and prediction for global seaborne freight. 

Finding patterns in Australian banking data.

Identity resolution for large government databases.

Recommendation systems for student to job matching.

Industrial processing systems analysis for improved performance.

David brings more than twenty years of oilfield experience, in Australia, and UK, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Norway, USA, Africa, and Middle East. His background includes lead roles in mechanical, construction, planning, and systems engineering. He has particular expertise in integrated operations for Drilling, Subsurface, and Production, and a proven track record in consulting assessments which have identified more than ten billion dollars of value for his clients around the world. His client list includes Woodside, Santos, BP  (UK, Indonesia, Azerbaijan, and Angola), Shell International, Exxon, and ADCO, and he is the author of several publications in the area including SPE papers and a book for Shell. David founded Integrated Energy Pty Ltd to enable safer, more valuable operations and projects, which are better for the people working   on them and the environment around us. Integrated Energy do this by providing a better way of working which considers people, process, organisation, technology and the physical working environment. 

Alex is an online marketing consultant strategies for Industrial Companies to help them target high value clients,  

I'm passionate about helping leading manufacturing / industrial companies attract, engage and convert recurring high value AAA+ clients, contracts and JV partners.  

Delivering performance based strategies and tactics in innovative marketing, automated sales systems and cost effective advertising and branding that is focused on increasing your revenues whilst reducing your workloads and costs. 

My goal is to raise your status as the world authority leader in your industry. Help Australia become a much better innovation and advanced manufacturing country.  

Having your best customers come back in their droves as raving fans, lapping up your finest products and services again and again.  

A previous background in mechanical engineering, manufacturing, mining is a highly skilled toolmaker, machinist, fabricator before endeavouring into a world of Digital Marketing. As a result of my own engineering business suffering form the lack of the wright customer and project, I embarked and a journey to fit the right audience for our products and services. For various reasons we closed that engineering business but my love for marketing grew. 

I have now come back full circle to where I'm still passionate about design, manufacturing, innovations and engineering, that I passionately want to help startups, creatives and traditional business to demystify digital marketing and help them grow as authorities with their global niche markets. 

Loves to work on work biggest and best and most outrageous projects like Rosco McGlashen world land-speed record 1000mph rocket car, where I have helped with design , construction and promotion of the car and team. 

I have a BSc in applied physics from Melbourne University (1993), a BE in mech engineering from UWA (1997) and a PhD in aerospace/mechanical engineering from The University of Queensland (2012).

I was the Australian and Reentry System lead for the Mars Gravity Biosatellite project (2003-2013) which involved MIT and the University of Washington and worked to test the effect of martian level gravity on mice inside a small spinning Earth orbitting satellite.  I was a Computational Fluid Dynamics consultant with BMT-WBM in Brisbane for 5 or so years, working with clients to model industrial processes such as sewage flows, vibrating screen slurries and exploding coal dust by pioneering use of OpenFOAM.  My PhD involved experimental and computational simulation of the ablation from sacrificial heat shields using  (at the time) the world's largest expansion tube wind tunnel.

I became a stay at home Dad in 2011 and have been developing software (Java, Go, Rust, Pony) and toying with electromechanical designs for a few consumer devices.  I'm looking to learn more about the R&D and startup scene in Perth, and enjoy being creative and entrepreneurial.

Dr Putrino has a strong research and patent output for sensing technologies based on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and photonics.

Current research activities include:

• Sensing for determination of bacteria resistance to antibiotics
• bacterial detection to identify Pseudomonas
• Infrared and THz spectroscopy - including detection of components such as nitrogen or glucose.
• Hydrogen, toluene, methane and other gas detection via direct detection mechanisms.

He has expertise in the advanced manufacturing techniques required to build novel sensor devices.
