Meet Dr. John Frederick Rose
Consulting Editor of Illumination Integrated Publications.
Dear readers and writers,
In this post, we introduce Dr John Frederick Rose, who has returned to Illumination as a writer and consulting editor for Illumination Integrated Publications. J
ohn’s journey at Medium started in 2020. In addition to his consulting role, he currently focuses on reviewing stories at Illumination-Curated, designed for experienced and accomplished writers on Medium.
John was educated at Scots College, Bellevue Hill in Sydney. In 1969 he started a dual degree in Science (graduated 1972) and Engineering (graduated 1974) at the University of Sydney. He majored in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science.
In 2011, John started a PhD candidacy at the University of Technology Sydney. He graduated with a PhD on May 2016. His research outcome was the “Collaborative Wellness System (CWS)”. CWS focussed on the analysis and improvement of human-centric knowledge creation processes.
In John’s engineering career, writing and presentation have been critical skills for developing and sharing ideas with students and stakeholders. J
ohn says that these skills came sharply into focus during his PhD candidacy as he strove to reach the standards required for publishing in academic journals and conferences. He received an award from Vine Magazine at the 24th Australasian Conference on Information Systems in 2013 for his paper on knowledge management.
After many years in the Engineering and IT industry, John Rose graduated with a PhD in 2016 from the Faculty of Engineering and IT (FEIT) at The University of Technology Sydney (UTS). In 2011, he gave a guest lecture in the FEIT on ethical choices and subsequently became a casual lecturer at UTS from 2012 to 2017.
John currently works as a casual academic in postgraduate and final year UTS courses. Since 2019 he has been a casual academic in the Faculty of Engineering and IT at Sydney University.
At the Northern Sydney Institute, part of TAFE (NSI), John has been a casual teacher since 2016 in their Bachelor of IT (Network Security) degree and Higher Education studies.
At NSI, John developed and taught courses in Programming; Distributed and embedded Systems; Professional Issues; Critical Thinking; and Knowledge Management. At UTS in 2022, he continues as a casual academic in FEIT in 32144 Technology Research Preparation.
Also, at UTS, John developed an online course concerning personal contributions for engineering students. He has provided student support services at both UTS and NSI.
In 2018, he began a personal research project in the application of Artificial Intelligence to facilitate ideation collaborations and help improve the usefulness of outcomes. Based on this work in 2019, John worked on a project to examine the application of AI modeling in the Professional Engagement Program at Sydney University.
John’s research platforms are based on Microsoft Windows, Ubuntu, and cloud platforms. He has demonstrated familiarity with using Anaconda in programming courses under MS Windows.
He used and taught open-source architectures and tools, including Python, Postgres database, SQLITE3, sci-kit-learn, Keras, and TensorFlow. He has developmental experience using Microsoft Visual Studio.
We’d like to highlight his green it and carbon abatement experience. Between 2008 and September 2012, as a founding member of Hewlett Packard’s Green Practice, John Rose was given the role of Chief Consultant Architect.
He invented new ways of reducing the impact on the environment of business processes and improved data center sustainability. His work was used in over 20 studies both in Australia and overseas for HP clients. Green initiatives must make business sense. Cost reduction and efficiency initiatives are about “doing more with less.”
In November 2007, John began developing methodologies to track application performance and power utilization in diverse IT environments to identify application tuning and modernization opportunities. His work led to US and EMEA HP patent applications in 2010/11.
While at HP, John was a registered inventor and continued contributions as he developed an architecture for tracking, analyzing emissions, devising/accessing emission plans, and managing emissions until departing from HP in September 2012.
In his role of Chief Consultant Architect at HP Green Practice, he conceived and developed an application called “C-Counter” that implemented his architecture to support Green abatement engagements. C-Counter was first used in 2008 and, based on its early success, was utilized for clients in Asia, EMEA, and the US to identify carbon abatement projects to reduce clients’ IT asset carbon (and energy) reporting baseline over a period of 3 years by between 30% and 45%. HP Green Practice reports were routinely audited by clients and external auditors.
A formal technology transfer agreement was put in place in 2009 by Hewlett Packard Labs (HPL) to support John’s work in integrating embedded carbon measures and analysis developed by HPL into his software architectures. This work was successfully concluded in April 2010.
John co-authored papers on data center sustainability and energy dashboards with HPL. He was the author of a paper on knowledge management in the optimization of application development environments. He worked with HPL on a study for one UK client covering embedded carbon and its business implications in two new data centers.
In addition to his research and development activities within HP Green Practice, John worked on demonstration concept systems for leadership, mentored developers, and trained Carbon Emission Management Practitioners from Japan, Australia, and the UK.
We’d like to share a few poems and stories of Dr John Frederick Rose to give you a quick taste of his writing style.
