About me
I am a lecturer at Murdoch Business School with a focus on leadership, sustainability, and governance. My academic and professional interests lie in understanding how institutions and leaders respond to complex global challenges—and how emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), can both support and challenge these efforts.
I am especially interested in the dual role of AI: as a tool to enhance governance and sustainability outcomes, and as a domain that itself requires robust governance. My work explores how AI can be integrated into public policy and institutional frameworks in ways that are ethical, transparent, and aligned with long-term societal goals.
Through my teaching and research, I aim to equip future leaders with the critical thinking, ethical grounding, and systems perspective needed to lead responsibly in a rapidly evolving technological and environmental landscape. I maintain a regional focus on Southeast Asia, where institutional reform and innovation intersect in dynamic ways.
