| Research projects | Funding source | Project Description | Project outcomes |
| Automated video surveillance system for homeland security | ARC Discovery Grant (AU$170,000) – 2004-2007 | Suspicious human behavior detection in public premises – using machine learning solutions. | Several good quality journals and conference articles. |
| Unmanned luggage detection for homeland security | Industry Contract (AU$450,000) – 2009-2012 | Detecting suspicious objects in the airport as part of counter-terrorism projects | Several good quality journals and conference articles. Commercialisation of the automated video surveillance projects with iOmniscient (which has grown to a multi-million dollar business) |
| Automated network intrusion detection (cybersecurity) software development | Industry Contract (AU$110,000) used for PhD Scholarship (2004-2008) | Detection of malicious network intrusion detection using advanced machine learning algorithms. | Several good quality journals and conference articles. The software solution was commercialised as ‘NetSafeGuard’ with some recognitions but limited commercialisation success. |
| Face recognition using machine learning solutions | No industry Grant – APA PhD scholarship (2005-2010) | Detecting and recognising pedestrians in public premises (e.g., airport). | Several good quality journals and conference proceeding articles. No commercialisation attempt was made. |
| Inductive learning for financial prediction (stock market prediction) | CRC Capital Market Research Grant (AU$20,000) and APA (APAI) Scholarship (2006-2011) | Stock market prediction using advanced machine learning solutions | Several good quality journals and conference proceeding articles. No immediate commericalisation opportunity was available. |
| Automated human beauty assessment | Early Career Research Grant UTS (AU$55,000) – used to support PhD Scholarship (2006-2011) | Machine learning approaches to assess human beauty as part of pre-planning of cosmetic surgery (medical). | Several good quality journals and conference proceeding articles. No commercialisation opportunity was sought at the time. |
| Automated cybersecurity for IoT | Pending Industry Contract – (AU$100,000 under discussion with Industry Partner) | Providing energy-efficient machine learning solutions to secure Internet of Things – in order to protect critical infrastructure | Several good quality journal and conference proceeding articles. In the process of securing Industry Grants. |
