I am a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Information Technology, Caulfield Campus, Monash University, leading the Modelling, Optimisation and Visualisation research flagship. I am also a member of the Decision Sciences Group at Data61.
My research focuses on architecture and implementation techniques for constraint programming systems. I lead the development of version 2 of the MiniZinc constraint modelling language and toolchain. I am also one of the main developers of Gecode, an open, free, portable, accessible, and efficient constraint programming library.
My doctoral dissertation won the 2010 Doctoral Research Award of the Association for Constraint Programming (award citation).
My broader research interests include programming languages, virtual machines, combinatorial optimisation, and computational logic.
