Defence Science and Technology Organisation
I work with the Defence Science and Technology Organisation, in a team that advises on defence for Australia's future security strategy.
Strategic thinking is a multi-discipline field, and I've moved as interest has taken me.
Thus, from mathematics and information science I moved into military operations and software support systems, and from an original intent of becoming an astronaut, I've found a knack for thinking about the implications of future technology.
Science matches the way I think, and provides a useful perspective on the problems. It's all about asking questions and finding answers.
And when a twenty-year military professional respectfully addresses me as "Dr", from my capacity to analyse and advise ... the feeling is profound.
