Michael J. Maher

I am a Senior Principal Researcher (or is that Principal Senior Researcher?) for National ICT Australia, and Conjoint Professor at the School for Computer and Software Engineering in the University of New South Wales. I was previously a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Loyola University Chicago and, before that, an Associate Professor in the School of Computing and Information Technology at Griffith University. And a long time ago I was employed by IBM in its Research Division.

The weather in Sydney is generally better than it is in Chicago.

In my spare time I am a professor of Transportation Engineering, Management, Music, and Medicine, a Dean at Gonzaga, a real-estate agent, a radiologist, an expert on free will, a conductor and life member of the Drogheda Brass Band, an editor and special correspondent for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, a personal injury lawyer, a coinventor of the neurochip, a star in the X Files, a former Derbyshire wicketkeeper, a hurling champion, and 5th seed in the 2003 World Handball Championships (Mens C Singles). I have been honored in the US Congress. I publish on topics such as: educational philosophy, American opera, edible funghi, Adlai Stevenson, and Targumic studies. I believe that all statements on the Web should be evaluated critically.

I am not, and never have been, a member of the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists.

Some of my publications are now available electronically.

I have been compiling a brief index to information about NICTA, UNSW, and Sydney.
