    BRIEFLYABOUTMEI am a highly motivated computer visionresearcher, with a broader background inelectrical engineering. Since I have beeninterested in tinkering since childhood, Ihave strong set of practical skills, which isreflected inmy approach tomywork.I was raised in Takaka, a beautiful part of ru-ral New Zealand, but left to study SystemsEngineering (essentially a mechatronicscourse) at the University of Bremen, Ger-many. After taking a year and a half to travel,I moved toMelbourne, Australia, to start aPhD focusing on event-based vision underthe auspices of Lindsay Kleeman and TomDrummond.Since then, I have beenworking hard tomake use of these novel visual sensors andto boost our understanding of asynchronousdata. While mywork hasmostly focused onoptimizationmethods on the events, I amcurrently working on developing principledinput representations of the events for usein deep neural networks.

    PROJECTSBrief outline of some of my larger projects.WingNetHobby Project, Deep LearningI am currently developing several tools for the School of Biology to au-tomatically annotate/measureDrosophila Melanogastermorphology. Al-though this started just for fun, we plan to publish this work soon.Deep-Sea Tactile GripperBachelor Degree Project, Electrical EngFormy bachelor thesis, I designed a tactile gripper for a deep-sea robotarm. The final prototype was successfully published in a top-tier confer-ence.KUKARenovationBachelor Degree Project, MechatronicsIn this project we stripped down an ancient robot arm and replaced theold analogue control electronics with amoremodern PLC system forwhich we programmed the control logic.EGG Egg EngravingMachineHobby Project, CNCIn this project, I built a machine for engraving a given image onto thesurface of an egg.DIY 3D PrinterHobby Project, CNCIn this project I developed and built a 3D printer and light mill togetherwith colleagues fromDFKI. This included everything from themechani-cal design to large parts of the control electronics.
