UCM people in the Geospatial Information Processing Lab
	Professor Philip Sallis, Philip is the Director of the Centre, which was established in 2007. Until December 2008 he was the Deputy Vice Chancellor at AUT, a position he held for 10 years after coming from the University of Otago, where for 13 years he was Foundation Professor of Information Science. Concurrently with his role as Director of the Centre, Dr Sallis is a Pro Vice Chancellor at AUT advising the Vice Chancellor on strategic development, chairing the Board of Directors for AUT Enterprises Limited and participating in numerous committees and university development projects. He also holds a Adjunct Research Professorship at Universidad Catolica del Maule in Chile where he has established a geospatial information processing laboratory and works with others there to co-ordinate joint GeoComputing projects with AUT in Chile, Argentina and Uruguay. Philip has undergraduate degrees in History and Computer Science from Victoria University of Wellington, a PhD (Information Science in the Faculty of Engineering, The City University, London, England and a Post Graduate Diploma (in Theology) from The University of Otago. He is a Fellow of the New Zealand Computer Society and was President for 3 years. He is a member of the Royal Society of NZ, the Association for Computing Machinery and the Institution of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. He has held senior academic positions as Head of Department, School and latterly DVC in the UK, Australia and New Zealand universities with visiting and adjunct professorships in the UK, USA, Hong Kong and Chile. He has held numerous government and industry appointments internationally as advisor and commission chair or member. Philip's research background is in Software Engineering, Computational Linguistics and Geo- Spatial Information Processing. He has published extensively, taught at all levels and supervised to completion numerous Masters and PhD students. phone: +64 9 921 9010 email: psallis@aut.ac.nz
	Sergio Hernandez,Sergio is  a post doctorial fellow, a joint appointment with AUT and Universidad Catolica del Maule, Chile. He studied Acoustic Engineering at the Universidad Tecnologica de Chile and completed a Masters in Computer Engineering at the Universidad de Santiago de Chile. He developed a neuro-fuzzy method for dimensionality reduction and classification in non destructive testing. He has just finished a PhD degree in Computer Science at Victoria University of Wellington, where he has developed a method for tracking multiple objects in video sequences. The method uses random sets and point process theory under the Bayesian filtering framework, and the goal is to estimate the state of a system with time varying dimensions. He will be working on a variety of projects in both Chile and New Zealand. email: shernandez@ucm.cl
	Professor Mary Carmen Jarur Munoz, Universidad Catolica del Maule, Chile. An Electrical Engineer, Mary Carmen's principle interests are in system configuration design and computational neural network methods. She has previously also worked in the areas of robotics and sensor technologies.  Her current work with the Eno-Humanas project is with algorithm development and optimisation for the frost prediction and irrigation management problems. email: mjarur@ucm.cl
	Professor Christian Lopez, Universidad Catolica del Maule, Chile. Christian teaches Civil Engineering and is finishing a Master's Degree at the Centro de Geomatica at Universidad de Talca. His research interests are in using geomatic techniques for determining 'green space' suitability for urban planning and visualisation. His current work with the Enometrica involves using sensor nodes for sampling the temperature, humidity, air pressure and solar radiation in three locations. email: chlopez@ucm.cl
	Roberto Rock, CEO Business Incubator, Universidad Catolica del Maule, Chile.  Roberto has degree in Mechanical Engineering and Business Management.   His postgraduate study was in Holland with post-experience study in the USA.   Roberto is working with the Eno-Humanas Project and a new Wind Turbine Project for the GRC in association with UCM in Chile.  He is also collaborating with the AUT Business Innovation Centre on aspects of the GRC's product development projects. email: rrock@ucm.cl
	Professor Marcelo Trujillo, Universidad Catolica del Maule, Chile. Marcelo's interests are in data mining, data analysis and visualisation.  He is particularly interested in the Eno-Humanas Project in order to explore ways to best produce result visualisation from dynamic data processing for such aspects as frost prediction.   He is working with GRC to develop and optimise algorithms for frost predication and irrigation management using computational neural network and other contemporary computing techniques.   email: trujillo@ucm.cl
