Personal profile

Biography

Professor Michael Wise completed a double degree in Engineering and Arts and a PhD in electrical engineering at the University of New South Wales. He then worked for the University Technology, Sydney for two years before lecturing in Computer Science at the University of Sydney. Here he created computer software for use in plagiarism detection until the discovery that his programs had a secondary use in gene sequence alignment prompted him to shift his research to bioinformatics. Prof Wise was subsequently employed a Senior Research Fellow at Pembroke College in Cambridge. In 2004 he moved to The University of Western Australia, where he had a joint appointment in the School of Biomedical, Biomolecular and Chemical Sciences and in Computer Science and Software Engineering. Since July 2016, he is now soley in Computer Science and Software Engineering

Current projects

A/Professor Wise is primarily interested in computational biology, particularly microbial informatics (i.e. the application of computational techniques to better understand bacterial and other microbial life).
