Dr Nathan Robinson

I’m Chief Technology Officer at Access Quest. I lead the development of geospatial and routing technology that helps people plan journeys around their accessibility needs.

Current role

I lead the development of our technical platform, geospatial systems and routing algorithms. Our work focuses on accessible navigation and multimodal routing across pedestrian, public transport and car networks.

Career

I previously led routing and geospatial engineering teams at Verizon Connect after joining Telogis as a senior software engineer. Earlier, I worked in research and teaching roles in Australia and Canada, including at the University of Toronto, NICTA and the Australian National University. I completed my PhD in Artificial Intelligence at Griffith University and NICTA.
