About Me
I am a Lecturer in Mathematics at the School of Engineering and Technology, CQUniversity, Australia. Prior to this, I served as a Senior Post Doctoral Researcher at the School of Business and Law. During my academic career, I have been involved in various research projects where I applied my expertise in mathematics and statistics. I completed my PhD in 2016 from the School of Engineering and Technology at CQUniversity. My research interests lie in the fields of Computational Fluid Dynamics, Numerical Techniques and Sustainable Energy. I have published over 30 refereed Journal articles and conference papers throughout my academic career. Additionally, I have demonstrated my social engagement and leadership capabilities by collaborating with industry partners in research projects and linking local, state and federal governments and relevant stakeholders through focus group workshops and panel discussions.
