Biography
I joined the Department when it was a School as a lecturer in 1981 and progressed through promotion to Senior Lecturer, Associate Professor and finally to Professor (Personal Chair) in 1992. From 1994 to 2004, I was the Head of Department/School, and am again Head of Department, as of December 2010. In October 1999, I formed the Western Australian Centre of Excellence in Industrial Optimisation (WACEIO) and have been its Director ever since.
