I lead the Software and Computational Systems Research Program (one of the four programs) at Data61, CSIRO. The research program has 200+ people innovating in the following (but not limited to) research areas: big data analytics infrastructure, computational and simulation sciences platforms (including verticals such as imaging processing and bioinformatics/life sciences), data integration, data platforms, trustworthy systems, distributed systems, business process management, legal informatics, provenance, behaviour analytics, blockchains, software ecosystems, software engineering/architecture, DevOps and cybersecurity. 

Data61 is part of The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and Australia's data/ICT innovation hub. Data61 was formed bringing together CSIRO's Digital Productivity team and National ICT Australia (NICTA).

I am also conjoint full professor at School of Computer Science and Engineering, University of New South Wales. I teach software architecture courses and supervise PhD students at UNSW. I have supervised 6 PhDs to completion as the primary supervisor. My personal research interests include:

• software architecture in enterprise systems and embedded systems
• dependable distributed systems 
• dependable DevOps and continuous deployment 
• (big) data analytics infrastructure, data analytics pipelines and data provenance
• data platforms
• blockchain-driven systems
• software engineering for machine-learning based systems 
• software ecosystems, multi-sided platforms and Ultra-Large-Scale systems
• service/cloud engineering and RESTful services
• Model Driven Development(MDD)
• business process management
• system and software development processes and methodologies
• empirical methods in software engineering
