Biography

Jeffrey received a PhD degree in digital image processing from the University of Sydney in 2001. His PhD research was supported by an Australian Postgraduate Award and a Norman I. Price Scholarship. He was a Research Associate and then an Australian Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Sydney from 2000 to 2003, working on projects funded by the Australian Research Council. He joined the University of Western Sydney as a Lecturer in June 2003, where he is currently a Senior Lecturer.
