Playing career

[edit]

Storer joined the St. George-Illawarra Dragons when aged 16.[2] He left the club after the 2001 season.

In 2003 he played two National Rugby League games for the South Sydney Rabbitohs.[1]

In 2006 he played for the Parramatta Eels in the NSWRL Premier League, scoring one try.[3] Storer had also played for the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in the NSWRL Premier League.[2]

He played for Fiji at the 2008 World Cup. After the tournament Storer suffered serious injuries to his left arm which forced him into early retirement.[4] However, he made a comeback in 2013 and earned selection in Fiji's 2013 Rugby League World Cup squad.[2][5]

In May 2014, Storer played for Fiji in the 2014 Pacific Test. He scored a try in Fiji's 32–16 defeat.

On 7 May 2016 Storer captained Fiji, for the first time, in the 2016 Melanesian Cup where he played at hooker in the 24–22 loss at Parramatta Stadium.[6]

On 6 May 2017, Storer played in the Pacific Test against Tonga. Storer scored a try just moments after coming off the bench in the first half. Later that year, he was picked in the Fijian squad for the 2017 Rugby League World Cup.

Storer was the Captain/Coach of the Port Kembla Blacks before they withdrew from the South Coast Group 7 Competition at the end of 2017.

Storer runs a fitness boot camp called YUIN FITT just north of Wollongong.

James Storer is an American computer scientist known for his foundational contributions to data compression, image and video processing, and algorithmic techniques in computer science. He is Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at Brandeis University, where he pursued a long academic career after earning his B.A. in Mathematics and Computer Science from Cornell University in 1975, his M.A. in Computer Science from Princeton University in 1977, and his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Princeton in 1979. His research has focused on both lossless and lossy compression methods, including textual substitution, Lempel-Ziv-based approaches, vector quantization for images, hyperspectral data compression, differential compression, and error-resilient techniques, with recent work incorporating deep learning for semantic perceptual compression and protection against adversarial attacks. Storer played a central role in the data compression community by serving as chair of the IEEE Data Compression Conference from 1991 to 2012 and as co-chair from 2013 to 2023, helping shape the field's development through leadership and proceedings oversight. He has authored key texts such as Data Compression: Methods and Theory and An Introduction to Data Structures and Algorithms, and edited volumes including Image and Text Compression and Hyperspectral Data Compression, influencing generations of researchers and practitioners in compression and related areas. His work has bridged theoretical foundations with practical applications in image retrieval, video enhancement, and parallel algorithms, establishing him as a prominent figure in theoretical computer science and information theory.
