CRCSI STUDENT PROFILESThe Education Program focuses on funding and fostering PhD and Masters students to integrate with the spatial industry. These students work with our university partnersand 43pl members to gain real-world supervision and experience to create a talented workforce that delivers excellence and sustainability to the spatial industry inAustralia and around the world.The CRCSI is hosting a student day Blockchain Solvathon – a marathon in problem solving and thinking. The Solvathon will focus on developing a concept using blockchaintechnology to benefit the spatial sector. The idea is to think creatively about blockchain technology, unusual data and apps. To set the tone for creative thinking andblockchains, Adjunct Professor Paul X McCarthy, UNSW will open the concept to the students.Presentations will be made by each of the two Solvathon teams on Thursday morning at 8.45am in the exhibition space. The audience will be asked to vote through theconference app on the winning team.2016 STUDENT COHORTNic Donnelly is the Technical Manger Geodesy, LINZ and is supported by UNSW for his PhD in the Next Generation Datum project (P1.02). Recently Nic’s work relating toEarthquake changes to land boundaries provided a critical part of the technical foundation for a new Bill currently sitting within the New Zealand Parliament. The geodeticmodelling technique used in this research is a world first in application to cadastral data over large areas.Further information about Nic’s research can be found hereLuis Elneser is a Site and Project Services Consultant with 43pl member Position Partners.

Ben Fitzpatrick is located at QUT and works on the Biomass Business project (P4.18) on research into experimental designs and Bayesian spatiotemporal models for carbonin farmscapes. He is also a Research Associate in the School of Mathematical Sciences. Ben’s research is in the area of Applied Statistics leveraging rich ensembles ofenvironmental data layers to aid the interpolation of sparse, ground truthed observations.Ben is open to discussions on point referenced, spatial observations to interpolate with the aid of high resolution observations of other related things. His interests lay withpoints on a map to predict full cover rasters or smooth surfaces. Ben has opensource code to share and is keen to pursue case studies to analyse and write up as journalarticles with interested co-authors.Further information about Ben’s research can be found here: Research poster and Research updateTeuku Aulia Geumpana is located at UNSW and is working on the information priority model for GIS-based mobile cloud application in disaster emergency response. Herecently the joined the CRCSI student group and is in the early stage of his PhD research which supports the work of Rapid Spatial Analytics.Paul Goodhue, located at the University of Canterbury is working on the Biomass Business 2 project (P4.18). Paul’s research centres on validating the crowdsourcingcomponent of data gathered from the field through agricultural consultants and farmers. His work is integrated into Spatial Infrastructures (Program 3) to improve the trustof crowdsourced geographic information.Paul is interested in crowdsourcing walking and biking track information through apps (android and web) that he has developed as part of his PhD. Paul will use thisinformation to analyse the ability of a conceptualised crowdsourcing model to improve the trust of crowdsourced geographic information.Further information about Paul’s research can be found hereE-K Gulland is supported by Curtin University. Her research crosses two program – Spatial Infrastructures (P3.01) and Health (P4.41) and examines the improvement ofusability of online health geovisualisation tools.Further information about E-K’s research can be found hereSam Hislop is supported by RMIT as part of the LandFor: Landsat for Forests project (P.4.101). The project team is researching methods to take advantage of the extensivearchive of Landsat satellite imagery to model and map disturbance in Victorian forests. By creating an ‘image stack’ from almost 30 years of images, the team can analysechange as a function of time on a pixel by pixel basis. Using a combination of machine learning and user trained multiple lines of evidence, large area disturbance historieswill be modelled.14 P a g eINNOVATION TO TRANSFORMATIONSYDNEY MASONIC CENTRE, 66 GOULBURN STREET, SYDNEY, NSWDraft program v8
Sam has government experience in spatial mapping in emergency management.Further information about Sam’s research can be found hereHamish McNair is located at the University of Canterbury and supported by 43pl member Trimble. He is working on the Supply Chains project (P3.02). Hamish’s researchcentres on trusting crowdsourced spatial information throughout a spatial data supply chain.Hamish is investigating how crowdsourcing can be better integrated into processes that utilise spatial information. This research seeks to engage people in more thansimply the collection of data so that local knowledge can more directly influence decision-making processes. His current focus is on incorporating local perspective inplanning processes by spatially arranging users’ observations and opinions on cycle infrastructure performance.Further information about Hamish’s research can be found hereJohn Lewis is located at UNSW and recently joined the CRCSI student group. He is working on enhancing information systems to support the care of colorectal cancersurvivors by GP led primary care services.Levi Mutambo, located at the University of Canterbury is working on the Supply Chains project (P3.02) to explore the potential of crowdsourcing and open sourcetechnologies in addressing the challenges of government-driven Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) in resource constrained contexts.The global spread of mobile devices with mapping capabilities and the maturing of open source software for SDI development have opened the door of opportunity toresearch on the possibility of crowdsourcing an SDI in order to reduce costs, speed up delivery, and increase access to location information for better decision-making inregional development.Levi’s research centres on spatial data infrastructure and volunteered geographic information. His current focus will see farmers in Zambia supply real-time crop harvestingdata into a purpose built app using smartphones donated by Huawei Technologies Australia. Levi’s proof of concept has been developed and is now ready for field testing.Levi's envisaged research outcomes are an open source framework for a crowd-driven SDI which will include a mobile application and web portal to support the crowd incollecting and managing location information.Further information about Levi’s research can be found hereTrung Nguyen is supported by RMIT and is part of the LandFor: Landsat for Forests project (P.4.101).
