I am an Associate Professor in the School of Computing at ANU since 2018 following a PhD from Carnegie Mellon University. I convene the Bachelor of Computing and have extensive teaching experience covering a range of topics from basic computer science to advanced artificial intelligence for cohorts of over 400 students. My research focuses on automated sequential decision-making problems under uncertainty and my contributions are often at the intersection of artificial intelligence, operations research and machine learning. I have received multiple research awards and have experience collaborating with industry most notably with European aerospace companies regarding fuel utilisation and CO2 emissions.
I believe in university governance led by academics and grounded in evidence. My goal is to represent the academic community by using evidence, engagement and data to ensure strategies reflect the realities of research and teaching. I believe governance must be respectful of the stability our academic environment requires and conducive to a world-class and excellent academic university ecosystem.
