I'm a cognitive scientist, a field that draws together linguistics, philosophy, mathematics, computer science and psychology.  I'm a balanced academic (40/40/20) conducting research and teaching at the nexus between human behaviour and technology. My research is translational and I teach the principles of ethical and safe development of technical innovation to bring new ways of living and working with technology - and work with the Australian Institute for Machine Learning. Through teaching and collaborative interdisciplinary research, I discover, design and create novel theory and methods to help solve societal challenges. I collaborate with the people who apply the research first – gaining perspective and context so that the solutions are rapidly and effectively translated.
