20+ years experience in the application of computational fluid dynamics and process modelling within the Alumina industry.

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. 

Malcolm Greenway has over 35 years’ experience working in the mining industry in South Africa and Australia and has been with Jacobs in Perth for 21 years. His current position is as a Mining Shaft Systems Consultant. In previous roles he has been successively Operations Manager, Regional Manager, and Project Director for the capital project work being undertaken by Jacobs for Rio Tinto Iron Ore Projects and Development in Western Australia. Malcolm is also an adjunct professor at the University of Western Australia.

After a B.Sc.Eng. degree in mechanical engineering Malcolm studied for a D.Phil. at Oxford University in the UK completing his thesis on vortex shedding flow induced structural vibration. Subsequently Malcolm worked on an industrial aerodynamics wind tunnel simulating the natural wind and measuring the effects on buildings. In 1979 Malcolm joined the Anglo American Corporation of South Africa in Johannesburg. Initially Malcolm was responsible for some specific R&D projects for Anglo in the field of vibration control, structural dynamics and fatigue. These projects addressed screening plant vibration control, shaft steelwork dynamic behaviour, rope guide performance and hoist rope oscillations and dynamic loads and a wide range of machinery failures. Malcolm’s technology experience thus includes test and analysis of mechanical plant and equipment with emphasis on mining equipment, machinery failure analysis and prevention, plant vibration management and equipment life extension. Malcolm progressed with Anglo into engineering management to become Consulting Mechanical Engineer responsible for the Mechanical Engineering Department of their Central Technical Office (CTO). The CTO undertook a wide variety of mine process plants and shaft system EPCM projects for Anglo’s Coal, Gold and Diamond operating divisions
