Personal profile
Research interests
My main research interests are applied computational intelligence and critical systems thinking. I created and lead the Artificial Intelligence Paradigms (CSAIP) research unit with the aim of providing a research framework for mentoring the whole computer science team while focusing research on areas that enhanced and complimented our degrees. I also provide leadership and experience to the Cyber Security Research Group.
Teaching interests
As subject leader, I designed and documented all courses currently on offer within Computer Science at USW and have taught at all levels across the entire curriculum.
Experience
I have worked in computing for 40 years, which includes 26 years within an academic environment. I gained my bachelor’s computing degree in 1993 as a mature student and went on to gain a doctorate in applied Artificial Intelligence in 1997. I returned to academia in 2000 as a Research Fellow. I was asked to take on the role of senior lecturer in 2007, took over leadership of the postgraduate programme in 2008 and became a Reader 2009. The MSc Programme encompassed AI, Security, Forensic, Computer Science, Information Technology and Information Systems degrees. I took on leadership of the then Artificial Intelligence Technologies (ART) research unit in 2012 and role of subject leader for Computer Science in 2013. I became Head of Computer Science in 2014 until I was medically redeployed in 2022. I am the REF lead with my main focus, since 2022, being on research and mentoring staff across all academic roles.
