Tom Gedeon is Chair Professor of Computer Science at the Australian National University, where he was Deputy Dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science. He is a former Head of Department of Computer Science at ANU. He has worked previously at Murdoch University and the University of New South Wales. His BSc and PhD are from the University of Western Australia. He is a former president of the Asia-Pacific Neural Network Assembly, has been nominated for VC's awards for postgraduate supervision at three Universities, and serves on a number of journal advisory boards as member, associate editor or editor.
Tom's research focuses on the development of automated systems for information extraction, and for the synthesis of the extracted information into humanly useful information resources (hierarchical knowledge), mostly using fuzzy systems and neural networks, as well as by cognitive modeling based on biologically plausible information flow constraints. Application areas of the research include mining, security and medical applications, particularly in the construction of intelligent interfaces which understand human eye gaze as well as facial expression and other human behavioural cues. |
