Monash Teaching Commitments
Active student engagement, inclusive pedagogies, real-world problem-solving, and evidence-informed assessment design.
Current project opportunities listed on Monash Supervisor Connect.
Build a prototype that generates rubric-based feedback on student submissions using LLM APIs, then evaluate feedback accuracy, usefulness, tone, and alignment with educator benchmarks.
Design and benchmark hybrid optimisation pipelines (QAOA/VQE + classical solvers) for routing, scheduling, and energy management in EV/AV urban mobility scenarios.
Use Qiskit Aer to model decoherence, gate, and readout noise; quantify impacts on Grover-style search; and evaluate mitigation methods such as measurement error correction and zero-noise extrapolation.
Selected presentations from conferences, symposiums, public talks, and workshops.
