    At the end of February I will be starting a new job as the Robotics Postdoctoral Fellow on the Thinking Systems Project. I will be associated with both the Queensland Brain Institute and the School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering.

    Also on the project is Professor Mandyam Srinivasan, an inaugural Australian Federation Fellow, and the recipient of the 2006 Prime Minister’s Prize for Science, as well as Professor Perry Bartlett, the director of the Queensland Brain Institute, and many other distinguised scientists. I will also be working with my PhD supervisor, Dr Gordon Wyeth, and the leader of the Thinking Systems Project, Professor Janet Wiles.
