In 2016 I finished my PhD at UQ creating a novel genotyping--by-sequencing method called skimGBS. I then moved to UWA to work with the Edwards group on plant breeding using computational methods. In 2018 I started a Forrest Fellowship where I worked on the genomics of wheat breeding and the applications of machine learning in genomics. In 2021 I started a DECRA where I work on modeling the evolutionary processes behind new genes and gene loss. From there I moved on to a role as Principal, Computational Biology, in the Minderoo Foundation, where I am working on novel ways to measure ocean biodiversity using environmental DNA.
I am a Principal with the Minderoo Foundation in the OceanOmics project.
I was DECRA fellow associated with the group of Dave Edwards - I ran my own research, helped PhD students with their research, and looked after the group's infrastructure. I taught into SCIE4002 and SCIE5003, both bioinformatics units, and helped develop the MSc Bioinformatics at UWA.
I also ran the Hacky Hour, every Tuesday at the Hackett Cafe at 2pm and online on Zoom, where we talk code and data and help people with code and data problems: https://twitter.com/hackyhouruwa
I am a member of the Research Committee for the UWA Institute of Data and a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee for the ARDC Machine Learning CoP.
