Biography

Dr Cameron Foale is a Lecturer in information technology at Federation University Australia. Dr Foale’s research expertise includes digital capture of stringed instrument acoustics, biopsychosocial health data, reinforcement learning, and safe and explainable artificial intelligence.

Cameron is currently working on research projects in machine learning for cross-talk minimisation, Bayesian approaches to multiobjective reinforcement learning, and multi-channel effects processing for stringed instruments. Cameron is an active member of Federation Learning Agents Group (FLAG) and has been part of several of the University’s flagship research centres, as well as being involved in the Internet Commerce Security Laboratory (ICSL).

Cameron completed his PhD at the University of Ballarat in 2010 in the field of acoustics for virtual environments, and subsequently entered the IT industry as a web and games developer in the digital education sector. Cameron returned to teaching and research at Federation University in 2014.
