Work

  • 2012.06 - Present
    Professor
    UNSW Sydney
    I decided to move to UNSW Sydney on a Vice-Chancellor's postdoctoral fellowship in 2012, mentored by Toby Walsh. Before I could take up the postdoctoral fellowship, I was awarded a DECRA (Discovery Early Career Award) by the Australian Research Council (ARC), which was followed up by a Future Fellowship. After 3 successful rounds of promotion, I became a professor in 2022. In 2018–2024 I served two consecutive 3-year terms as Associate Head of School (Research).
