Post-Doc Res Fellow (UNSW)
  • Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Hons)
  • Doctor of Philosophy
Arts, Design & Architecture (ADA)
UNSW 3DXLab

Having an extensive research background in biomedical science at the University of Melbourne and a longstanding interest in the visual arts, I work as a postdoctoral research fellow and lead pre-rendered content developer in the 3D Visualisation Aesthetics Lab. I specialise in developing creative solutions to complex visualisations in addition to carrying out roles in the lab’s interactive VR content development.
