About me

As a research engineer who has transitioned into education, my research interests are diverse. My past research has focused on spine biomechanics, robotic and other complex testing facilities, and safety and effectiveness testing for proprietary medical devices. Through this, I developed a passion for creative thinking that has bridged a research interest in creating thinking education within the general capabilities. In addition, my current research foci include simulated learning environments in tertiary education, incorporation of generative artificial intelligence in educational spaces, mathematics and science education in secondary schools.
