Dylan Campbell
Research Fellow
Dylan joined the Centre as a Research Fellow at the Australian National University (ANU) in August 2018. Previously, he was a PhD student at ANU and Data61/CSIRO, where he worked on geometric vision problems, and a research assistant at Data61/CSIRO. Dylan received a BE in Mechatronic Engineering from the University of New South Wales. He has broad research interests within computer vision and robotics, including geometric vision and human-centred vision. In particular, he has investigated geometric sensor data alignment problems, such as camera localisation, simultaneous localisation and mapping, and structure from motion. He is currently looking at the problems of recognising, modelling, and predicting human actions, poses and human-object interactions with a view to facilitate robot-human interaction as part of a Centre project.

Shelley Thomas
Communications Specialist
Shelley joined the Australian Centre for Robotic Vision as Communications Specialist in July 2018. Convinced that everyone has a story to tell, she’s our resident ‘Chatbot’ of sorts. Shelley brings 30 years’ experience in media and communications to the Centre from diverse roles across Australia and overseas, including in England, Africa, Hong Kong and the Galápagos Islands. She’s a Star Wars (not Trekkie) fan and dreams of a real-word Rosey robot, capable of washing and ironing… autonomously! When not sharpening her pencil, Shelley loves getting outdoors (and photographing it) with best mate, black Labrador, Josie. If you’ve got a question about the Centre or looking for story inspo, get in contact. Shelley.Thomas@qut.edu.au P: +61 7 3138 3265 M: +61 (0)416 377 444
