He undertook a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Fellowship in 2007 was supported in 2008 by an Australia Japan Foundation grant to continue his collabration with A. Prof. Yuji Ohgi at Keio University and a Yokohama based company.
His training was initailly in Physics in Brisbane, included a stint in the Antarctic as a glaciologist, before completing a Masters in Sensor technology and his PhD in Radio Physics. Working as a research fellow in Psychophysiology at Brisbane Mt. gravatt and nathan Griffith University Campus and lecturing in exercise science at the Gold Coast gave him an intrest in joining the disciplines of engineering with people. After a stint in the finance sectorin the UK he returned to work at Griffith university on a range of projects with Australia's elite sports bodies.
