Distinctions

Responsibilities/activities

In the past I have been head of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at UWA (1998-2000),
a member of Council of the Bernoulli Society (1999-2001), Australasian Vice-President of the International Society for Stereology (1996-99) and  various University jobs. My former PhD students include Marie-Colette van Lieshout (1994), Annoesjka Cabo (1995), Yih Chong Chin (2001), Bryan Scott (2001), Joanne Chia (2002), Jianbao Chen (2003) and Sandra Pereira (2004).

Leisure interests

T'ai chi and scuba diving.

Teaching:

Normally I have a full teaching load at UWA.

For the 2006 academic year, I will be working at CSIRO for 80% of my time, and will not have any substantial teaching obligations at UWA.

Research:

Research interests:
Stochastic geometry and its applications,
especially spatial statistics, stereology and digital image analysis.
Most of my current activity is on the data analysis of spatial point patterns and includes development of statistical software.

Topics I have worked on include geometrical probability (mean value theorems, integral geometry, combinatorial methods), spatial statistics (limit theorems, Markov point processes, three-dimensional point processes, replicated point patterns, conditional intensity, J-functions, applications of survival analysis to spatial data), stereology (stereology of tubes, applications of geometric measure theory, vertical sections, Rao-Blackwell theory, moments of particle volume), three-dimensional microscopy, and digital images (metrics for images; object recognition using stochastic models). I'm also starting to get involved in bioinformatics and statistics in scuba diving.

My most highly-cited paper is in stereology,

Estimation of surface area from vertical sections

which has been cited over 500 times.

My brother Rob is a television editor at ABC TV in Melbourne.
My brother Viv is an engineer with Ford Australia in Melbourne. He is also part of a team that builds solar cars and holds several speed records.
My father, Arthur, is a retired engineer who worked in many areas of electronics and in postal mechanisation. He is a keen rower, and broadcasts a radio program of brass band music called Let The Bands Play on Community Radio 3CR in Melbourne.
My mother, Pat, is a retired teacher and academic historian. She has devoted a lot of her time in retirement to the charity organisation Foodshare and recently received an Australia Day Award.
