Engineering

Computer Science and Engineering

I have been an academic at ��¼� since completing my PhD in 1991. I am a full professor since 2002. Since 2009 I hold the John Lions Chair of Operating systems, and since 2011 the title of Scientia Professor.

Since its creation in 2003 I was a research program leader at NICTA, where I created what is now the Trustworthy Systems group, spanning NICTA and ��¼�. NICTA got absorbed into CSIRO in 2017, and since 2021 the group is wholly at ��¼�.

I have co-founded Open Kernel Labs in 2006 for commercialising my microkernel research outcomes. This has led to the L4-embedded microkernel being deployed on billions of mobile devices, including the secure enclave of all recent iOS devices, where it protects security-critical operations. OK Labs was sold to General Dynamics in 2012.
