About
I am an academic in the Department of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, Faculty of Information Technology, Monash University.
Starting 2022, I am the Director of Graduate Research in the Department of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence.
Between 2016-2019, I was the Course Director of the Bachelor of Computer Science undergraduate program at Monash.
Further back, between 2011-2013, I held the Larkins Fellowship at this faculty. Prior to that, I held the Eberly College of Science Fellowship at Pennsylvania State University, working with Professor Arthur Lesk at the Huck Institutes of Genomics, Proteomics, and Bioinformatics.
I conduct research mainly in computational biology and bioinformatics. Other research interests include data structures and algorithms, computational modelling and simulation, combinatorial optimization, and statistical learning using Minimum Message Length criterion.
