Rachel Cardell-Oliver studies distributed sensor networks, designing systems that integrate data measurement using environmental sensors; data collection with wireless communication systems; and data analysis using data mining techniques. Working with multi-disciplinary teams, she has researched environmental challenges such as understanding public transport use, reducing household water consumption, measuring water use by native Australian plants, and the performance of rammed earth for sustainable buildings in outback Australia. Rachel was introduced to distributed systems during her Honours and Masters degrees in Computer Science at UWA, leading to a PhD on formal methods for distributed systems at the University of Cambridge. She has worked at the University of Essex in the UK and the University of Western Australia, where she is currently Head of Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering.
