He will take up the position of Canberra Research Laboratory Director from 16 July 2007.
Current Canberra Laboratory head, Dr Terry Caelli, stepped down from the position at the end of June 2007. He will continue to work with NICTA in a research leadership role.
The new building the Canberra Laboratory will move into in September will bring together NICTA's three offices in Canberra, housing the current 165 staff and students and allowing expansion by up to 220 people.
The A-grade 4-star environmentally-friendly building on London Circuit, adjacent to the Australian National University (ANU), is set to become the hub of innovative ICT activity in the ACT. It will include a cluster of ICT companies centred on NICTA's research.
"NICTA's new laboratory in West Civic is an important piece of the West City knowledge precinct that is forming around ANU Exchange," NICTA chairman Neville Stevens said.
Mr Stevens said the ACT Government's announcement in its recent Budget to provide an extra $6 million over five years to NICTA to support the organisation's continued development, to build greater innovation capacity in the Territory, and to support Canberra's growing ICT sector, was a welcome sign of support.
