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.

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

As Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics, Prof Dell has changed the profile of engineering education and research at the University of Western Australia, dramatically changing the education model and focussing the research to be more industry focussed and collaborative between disciplines.

Prof Dell joined the Faculty in 1994, after working for 10 years in industry developing technologies for optoelectronics at Telecom Research Laboratories in Australia and space radiation effects at Matra Marconi Space Systems (now EADS) in France. He was appointed Dean of the Faculty in 2010.

Prof Dell has more than 300 refereed publications. John’s work has resulted in the awarding of a number of US and Australian defence contracts. He is also a co-inventor of a number of patented device structures and fabrication technologies. He is joint winner of the inaugural DSTO/Australia Museum Eureka Prize for Outstanding Science in Support of Defence or National Security. This technology is now being developed for real-time analysis of soil properties for agriculture, as well as applications in food science, defence and medicine.

John has a strong commitment to research and teaching and believes strongly that the nexus between the two is essential, particularly in developing new ways to inspire and educate future engineers. He is particularly interested in developing leadership in students and graduates, and an understanding that solutions are not only technical but have social, economic and cultural dimensions that need to be taken into account.
