Alice James

Alice James is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Macquarie University holding dual appointments in the School of Computing and School of Engineering as a Research Associate and Academic Casual staff member. She is actively affiliated with the Advanced Drone Systems Research Centre and maintains an ORCID profile (0000-0002-5997-8471) with 21 research outputs spanning 2020-2025.

Her research specializes in robotics and autonomous systems, focusing on swarm aerial robots for real-world applications through computer vision, IoT, and sensor fusion technologies. Key contributions include neuromorphic sensor systems for agricultural waste processing, RF-denied drone coordination, and marker-based landing violation detection. Her work bridges theoretical algorithms with practical implementations in challenging environments.

Recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate a clear trajectory toward solving critical infrastructure challenges, particularly in emergency drone services and biodiversity assessment. The research exhibits strong interdisciplinary collaboration across computer science, aerospace engineering, and environmental monitoring domains with increasing publication volume (7 outputs in 2024).

James currently leads the 2025-2026 project "Deep Vision in Autonomous Underwater 3D Mapping for Biodiversity Assessment" with Kuantama and Seth, indicating significant grant funding. Her collaborative network spans multiple institutions as evidenced by co-authorships across IEEE, ACM, and IFIP conferences. She operates within Macquarie's Advanced Drone Systems Research Centre which serves as her primary technical laboratory environment.
