I am a Senior Lecturer at SCU and a Principal Research Scientist at CSIRO.
My work contributes to the following UN Sustainable Development Goals
Research
Specialising in Mathematics, I develop novel and innovative solutions across materials, engineering, aerospace, computer science, machine learning and biology. Bridging the gap between fundamental science, research and industry, I have led several commercial projects and commercialised four technologies. I also leverage my joint position to tackle the challenge of net zero emissions by leading carbon locking and carbon accounting projects.
Teaching
I prepare and teach mathematics at SCU through the new online platform and incorporate real-world engineering problems.
