I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow for CQUniversity and a Casual Academic for La Trobe University. I am easy-going, friendly, and approachable, and I take pleasure in helping people achieve their goals. I really enjoy learning new things and watching others succeed. If there is anything you would like to know about me, I encourage you to send me an email or connect with me on LinkedIn 🙂.
Background
During my time at CQUniversity, completing my PhD, I completed an APR internship with Opaque, which involved developing tools for one of the largest neurological datasets. Additionally, during my degree, I had the opportunity to guest lecture at CQU. It was this moment that sparked my interest in teaching students. Not long afterwards, I started working for La Trobe University as a Casual Academic. In my first semester of teaching, I helped to develop the BUS2005 subject on Artificial Intelligence for Business Automation whilst teaching. At the end of my first teaching semester, I received the highest SFS (Student Feedback) rating among all eight relevant subjects (4.74/5). Now (in 2025), since completing my PhD on Explainable AI for Medical Applications, I am still teaching at La Trobe University while simultaneously working as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow (AI in AgTech) at CQU.
