Samuel Davey received the Bachelor of Engineering, Master of
Mathematical Science and PhD degrees from the University of
Adelaide, Australia, in 1996, 1999, and 2003, respectively.
Since 1995 he has worked for the Defence Science
and Technology Group, Australia, in the areas of target
tracking, tracker performance assessment, and multi-sensor
fusion. He is a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of
Adelaide and a Senior Member of the IEEE.
Neil Gordon received a PhD in Statistics from Imperial College
London in 1993. He was with the Defence Evaluation and
Research Agency in the UK until 2002 working on missile
guidance and statistical data processing. He is best known
for initiating the particle filter approach to nonlinear,
non-Gaussian dynamic estimation which is now in widespread use
throughout the world in many diverse disciplines. He is the
co-author/co-editor of two books on particle filtering. In 2002 he
moved to the Defence Science and Technology Group in Adelaide,
Australia where he is currently head of Data and Information
Fusion. In 2014 he became an Honorary Professor with the
School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering
at the University of Queensland. He is a Senior Member of the
IEEE.
Ian Holland received the Bachelor of Electronic and Communication
Engineering in 2000 and a PhD in wireless telecommunications
in 2005, both from Curtin University of Technology, Western
Australia. Since then he has held positions in the
University of Western Australia, the Institute for
Telecommunications Research at the University of South
Australia, EMS Satcom Pacific and Lockheed Martin Australia.
Since January 2011, Ian has been working as a Research
Scientist in Protected Satellite Communications at the Defence
Science and Technology Group.
Mark Rutten received theBachelor of Science, Bachelor of
Engineering and Master of Mathematical Science from the
University of Adelaide in 1995, 1996 and 1999, respectively
and a PhD from the University of Melbourne in 2005 on
Multipath Tracking for Over the Horizon Radars. He has worked
on data and information fusion for the Defence Science and
Technology Group since 1996. His research interests include
nonlinear state estimation, target tracking and multi-sensor
fusion.
Jason Williams received degrees of Bachelor of Engineering in
Electronics andBachelor of Information Technology from Queensland
University of Technology in 1999, Master of Science in
Electrical Engineering from the United States Air
Force Institute of Technology in 2003, and PhD in Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science from Massachusetts Institute
of Technology in 2007. He worked for several years as an
engineering officer in the Royal Australian Air Force, before
joining Australia’s Defence Science and Technology Group in
2007. He is also an Adjunct Senior Lecturer at the University
of Adelaide. His research interests include target
tracking, sensor resource management, Markov random fields and
convex optimisation.
“I enjoyed every moment of reading this book, which is pedagogical, informative, and full of suspense. The writing is crisp and to the point, illustrating the depth and complexity of current aviation accident investigation techniques and the skills of the experts in this field. I advise both statisticians and aviation enthusiasts to have a look at this book … .” (P. Jouvelot, Computing Reviews, April, 2017)
