Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDhirendra Singh is a Principal Research Scientist based in Melbourne with 12 years of experience at the intersection of agent-based modelling, cognitive agents and software engineering, underpinned by a PhD in Computer Science and dual undergraduate degrees. He has led research-practice translation for national-scale simulation tools used to model human behaviour in natural hazards, building evacuation risk capabilities for CSIRO/Data61 and RMIT that informed policy and operational planning. Earlier industry roles in DSP simulator development at Motorola, Freescale and ASTC gave him deep systems and simulator design expertise, which he applies to high-fidelity, large-population agent models. He contributes to open-source simulation tooling such as the widely used MATSim library, fixing core Java simulation logic and trip-editing bugs that improve transport scenario fidelity. Comfortable moving between academia and industry, he combines rigorous machine-learning-informed cognitive agent research with pragmatic software delivery for emergency management and urban planning. An understated strength is his track record of turning research prototypes into operational tools used by government and emergency services.
