Dr. Timothy Molloy

Senior Lecturer
Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering
Room G04A, 18 Alliance Lane, Clayton Campus

Prior to joining Monash, I was a Senior Lecturer (Mechatronics) in the School of Engineering at The Australian National University (ANU), a Research Fellow at The University of Melbourne, and an Advance Queensland Research Fellow at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), where I was also embedded with Boeing Research & Technology Australia. I received my PhD and bachelor’s degree in engineering (BEng) from QUT. I was awarded an Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Award for my PhD and a University Medal for my BEng.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor of Engineering (Aerospace Avionics), Queensland University of Technology (QUT)
  • Doctor of Philosophy , Queensland University of Technology (QUT)

Expertise

Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs)
Dynamic and Differential Game Theory
Event-Based Sensing and Perception
Inverse Optimal Control and Inverse Dynamic Games
Systems and Control
Quickest Change Detection

Research Interests

I am interested in decision and control under uncertainty, competition, and information constraints for robotics and related domains. My research explores topics at the intersection of systems and control, information theory, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. My recent work has focused on inverse optimal control, partially observed Markov decision processes (POMDPs), quickest change detection, dynamic and differential game theory, and event-based sensing and perception.
