Professor Douglas Creighton is a Deakin Distinguished Professor and Director of the Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation (IISRI) at Deakin University. With a career spanning complex systems modeling, AI, and agent-based simulation, he leads a 100-strong research team working on real-world defense, transport, med tech, and advanced manufacturing solutions. His current research program includes three pillars: systems thinking and quantitative analytics, computational intelligence, and agent-based modeling.
- PhD in Industrial/Systems Engineering from Deakin University
- Bachelor of Engineering (Systems Engineering) and Bachelor of Science (Physics) from Australian National University
His research strengths include smart transport systems, simulation modeling, robotics, and data analytics. Recent publications focus on stress quantification via EEG analysis, video instance segmentation, and ethical AI implementation in rail systems. He has developed trust estimation algorithms for autonomous agents and contributed to frameworks for rural community health engagement.
Scientific recognition includes:
- SAE Mobility Engineering Excellence Gold Award (2016)
- IISRI Excellence in Industry Collaboration Award (2020)
- Three best paper awards at IEEE conferences
As a supervisor, he currently guides research on:
- Mental stress quantification using brain connectivity
- Multi-cloud decision architecture
- Immersive technology for Industry 5.0 repair engineers
- Causal loop diagram representation for public health
His industry collaborations span Australian Defence, Alstom Transport, Boeing, and rail/water organizations. Current grants include projects with the Australian Electoral Commission, Flame Security International, and advanced aerial mobility research.
