Greetings! I am a PhD candidate in the Australian Research Centre for Interactive and Virtual Environments (IVE) at the University of Adelaide, where my research sits at the intersection of computer science and educational practice. My doctoral work examines how online assessment security techniques are operationalised and validated, with a focus on the evidence base underlying tools such as live remote proctoring, lockdown browsers, and plagiarism detection software.
 
Before entering academic research, I worked in IT and software development, and that technical grounding continues to shape how I approach research design and evidence evaluation. I am drawn to questions that sit at the boundary between systems thinking and human behaviour, particularly where the assumptions embedded in technical solutions do not hold up under scrutiny in real-world educational contexts.
 
Outside of my doctoral work, I serve as a Graduate Research Student Representative for the School of Computer Science and Information Technology. I also have a keen interest in AI, particularly reinforcement learning and AI applied to video games. As a gamer, streamer, and researcher, these three things coalesce naturally into a set of interests that I carry across both my professional and personal life.
