The team:

Malcolm Lambert - Project Manager
Malcolm is an atmospheric physicist by trade and, whilst building a house in Tasmania, he conceived the idea of using computational power to perform the difficult 3D geometric manipulations required to build with irregular pieces of rock. Malcolm has acted as the on-site project manager for several atmospheric and geophysical monitoring experiments in remote locations such as Macquarie Island and Antarctica. He has a set of skills in the areas of physics, project management, construction, computer programming and electronic and optical instrumentation. Malcolm is the inventor of Rocksolver and the owner and director of Intresto.

Dr Paul Kennedy - Software Engineer
Paul is a specialist in software development, artificial intelligence and data mining. He teaches data mining, machine learning and software engineering at UTS in Sydney. As a specialist in software engineering and artificial intelligence Paul has particular skills in the use of advanced search and optimisation algorithms and in the visualisation of complex information. Paul is using his specialist skills to design and develop the Rocksolver software required to fit together a collection of irregular polyhedra into a regular shape.

Dr Tom Osborn - Software and Marketing Consultant
Tom has been the head of a number of R&D groups at the University of Technology Sydney and has a particular interest in machine learning and statistical modeling as tools for identifying new market opportunities resulting from innovation. He has a good understanding of both the technical aspects of the challenges involved in developing the Rocksolver software and ways in which market opportunities can be identified and exploited. He is applying his skills to the Rocksolver project as an advisor and consultant.
