"Teaching computer science and computer programming is more about teaching problem solving than learning a programming language. I take the approach that by teaching the steps to solve the problem, rather than focussing on the language, the language becomes almost irrelevant."
Carl Mooney is a lecturer in the College of Science and Engineering at Flinders. His teaching areas include computer programming, database systems and software engineering.
Carl is interested in the community applications of computer programming and has assisted in the production of e-learning modules to aid in the transition to retirement for various groups around the country.
"The Flinders approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI) is very interdisciplinary, emphasizing language and learning, as well as intelligent agent, robots and vehicles. Much of the emphasis is now on understanding the people side of the equations, how we learn, how we use language, how distinguish faces and objects. Current technology is brittle because of a lack of understanding of the way people work - so the way AI’s currently work is quite different, and can give unexpected result. We aim to bridge that gap and usher in an age of really intelligent AI. We need not just people interested in computers, but people interested in people, in language, in psychology, in neuroscience! "
A Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional, Elena leads cutting-edge research in Critical Infrastructure protection, focusing on intrusion detection for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems cybersecurity and the Industrial Internet of Things. With cyber-attacks increasing globally, she is exploring system antifragility and using artificial intelligence to analyse abnormal data that may affect critical cyber-physical systems.
"Knowledge has no boundaries and I see the various sciences as distinct manifestations of the same fundamental truth. That's the main drive of my career, teaching and research, where computing is used as a tool, and artificial intelligence as a means, to understand the very nature of knowledge itself."
Paulo Santos is a Senior Lecturer conducting world-class research with over 15 years of experience in research and teaching, acting on computer science and robotics with emphasis on the following subjects: spatial reasoning, knowledge representation, machine learning, cognitive robotics, computer vision and logic programming.
“I believe games and play are part of our culture and how our current generation share their stories. Games provide a unique, powerful and engaging way to consider, understand and experience knowledge.”
Brett Wilkinson is a lecturer in computer game development and serious gaming at Flinders. His teaching has an emphasis on discovery-based learning, utilising games, and game mechanics to encourage engagement and motivation.
Brett has designed a range of games and virtual experiences for the classroom and learning. He worked with students on award-winning serious games for learning mathematics, new languages, how to program, Australian history and mental health awareness.
“I believe that teaching is not only the art of engaging learners in problem-solving and critical disposition but also a continuous exercise in self-learning, discovery, and reflection. Computer science and I.T. students require life-long learning skills to prepare themselves for unfamiliar challenges in the future. I believe that teaching and learning should be applied, producing highly employable graduates ready to work in the industry. These distinctions essentially require practice-oriented teaching, where student see, learn, think, and implement.”
Saeed Rehman is a Senior Lecturer in Cybersecurity and Networking, prior to joining Flinders, Dr Saeed has worked as a Senior Lecturer at different Universities in New Zealand.
Saeed’s research work is focused on the communication security of wireless communication systems.
Specifically looking into the physical layer impairments, like channel and transmitter frontend, to secure wireless communication systems, such as WiFi, IoT, cellular network, or satellite communication systems.
Over the last years, Saeed has investigated the use of radiometric fingerprinting (R.F.) of wireless devices for identification and security. He has introduced a new R.F. technique and demonstrated its feasibility under realistic conditions, and robustness to impersonation attacks.

Information technology is about taking these programs, applications and networks and applying them to solve industry, health and environmental problems, to create games and entertainment and to create and maintain robust information systems. In addition, information technologists possess strong interpersonal and management skills that allow them to oversee large software system development.
Computer science is the fundamental discipline behind modern digital systems. Computer scientists understand the potential as well as the limitations of computers and computer networks. Using programming skills, application tools and computer theory they produce applications that have the potential to transform all aspects of modern life. Computer scientists are also often involved in research projects that look to extend the possibilities that computers offer.
Computer scientists and information technologists overlap in their fields. They are the key creators and disruptors driving our future in the way we communicate, learn, build and play. A computer science or IT professional never stops learning, and must always stay on top of the latest technological trends in order to be successful in their fields. The more training and knowledge you have, the more employable you will be.
