About Us
Our People: Informatics Team
Doug Ashton
Doug is a foundation member of the Informatics Team, joining in early 2000. Doug's roles include working on the development of the patent database and on the CAMBIA IP website content management and interface. Doug previously worked in the public sector (IP Australia) in the area of intellectual property information management, which he interspersed with extensive travelling throughout Asia. He graduated from the University of Melbourne with a BA majoring in computing.
Neil Bacon
Neil is from Hamilton, New Zealand, where he caught a B.Sc (Phys) at Waikato Uni. He did a short stint of seismic surveying in the Bass Strait with Esso and enjoyed a few stormy days of seas rougher than he imagined possible. He worked at the CSIRO Division of Fossil Fuels and did a part-time M.Sc. (Phys) at the UNSW. Since then he's been doing IT work, initially embedded engineering applications and telecommunications and finally more general IT, in the UK, NZ, Belgium and Australia. Neil moved back to Australia from Belgium to be warm and live near a nice surf beach, but something went wrong with the plan and he ended up in Canberra - oh well, it's great for cycling. Neil has worked extensively on CAMBIA Sequence Software
Paul Brunckhorst
Paul is an experienced Java developer having spent nine years in the industry in Australia and The Netherlands. He has a strong focus on sustainable software development through agile methodologies and continuous tool refinement without losing sight of project goals. Located in Brisbane, Paul works on open source projects in the stolen moments he calls "spare time" and has a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering.
Peter Chappell
Peter has joined Cambia as a graphic and website designer. He has recently returned to Brisbane after spending several years living and working in the UK. Peter has a strong focus on website usability and interaction design with 10 years commercial experience as a website designer.

Joshua Cole
Email: josh@cambia.org
Josh is an Adelaide boy with a BSc in Computer Science and an Honours degree in Philosophy, perfectly reflecting his passion for truth, logic, beauty and a damn good argument. He has worked in the IT industry for more than a decade, in both the commercial sector and academia. He joined CAMBIA in 2006 as a Java Developer. When not debugging code, Josh loves buzzing around the National Capital on his venerable Vespa. Josh is now working for EDS as a software developer. He is continuing to contribute to the Patent Lens on a voluntary basis.
Peter Hassall
Originally from Sydney, Peter moved to Canberra in 2006 to see what a real winter is like. In a previous life he studied computer science at the University of New South Wales and wrote software.
Andrae Muys
Andrae is an experienced Software Engineer with an extensive background in the engineering aspects of Information Management. He has worked on metadata management for such diverse fields as Oil and Gas Exploration, Telecommunications Network Management, Records Management, and The Semantic Web. He has been an active member of the Open-Source community for the past 14 years, with a corresponding interest in the development of modern intellectual property law. An unapologetic geek — a spare moment is enjoyed, reading old books, studying the semantics of programming languages, and playing board games.
