Key Info

  • Position Title
    Scientific Officer, Herpetology
  • Section
    Herpetology Collection
    Division
    Australian Museum Research Institute

I am a machine learning engineer with a passion for applying artificial intelligence to environmental and biodiversity conservation. My background is in electrical engineering and machine learning, with a focus on audio source separation.

Prior to joining the Australian Museum Herpetology team, I worked as a machine learning engineer developing audio processing algorithms for cochlear implants. At the Australian Museum, I work on bioacoustic machine learning for the FrogID project, where I develop AI systems for the automatic identification of frog species from audio recordings.

Outside of work, I enjoy dancing, birdwatching, and spending time with my partner and our two cats.
