Summary
Richard Palmer is a research-focused software engineer and developer with a decade of experience applying computer vision, pattern recognition, and machine learning to multimodal datasets. He developed Cliniface, a desktop tool that helps clinicians and researchers analyse 3D facial phenotypes for rare disease diagnosis, drawing on his 2016 PhD work fusing 2D images and 3D point clouds. Based at Curtin University in Perth, he combines academic research with hands-on software delivery, from C#/.NET and Java sensor systems to Python tooling and web services. His background spans applied R&D roles in spatial information and sensor processing as well as practical systems for government project management, showing an ability to move ideas into usable tools. Notably, he blends deep theoretical expertise with pragmatic engineering—building end-to-end solutions that make complex multimodal visual data accessible to clinicians.
