Peter joined INSYTE as a principal researcher in 2003, and has since supervised a number of postgraduate Masters research students to completion.  He also commenced research at that time, which focussed on privacy issues for information systems development.  This work has since resulted in a number of peer-reviewed conference and journal publications, and led to the award of PhD in 2009.  Peter continues to conduct research and supervise postgraduate students as part of his ongoing role at INSYTE. 

Peter has been involved with various international conferences/bodies as a member of their organising committees (SESEM, IFAC SWIIS), technical committees (IFAC TC9.5/SWIIS), or as a reviewer (ECIS, IFAC SWIIS).  He has also attended and presented research at various international conferences.
