Qualifications

  • Doctor of Philosophy, The University of Queensland

Research interests

  • Graph theory and design theory

    My research has been focused in graph theory and related areas of combinatorics such as design theory, hypergraphs and latin squares. Understanding the properties of graphs and hypergraphs is important for modelling a variety of relational systems; applications range from transportation networks, biological models and efficient storage of data. Design theory and latin squares also have vast applications, including the design of experiments and error-correcting codes. Some major themes of my research are graph decompositions, factorisations of graphs, and optimally covering the edges of hypergraphs.

  • Scholarship of teaching and learning

    Active and blended learning; Perceptions of STEM topic among science students; Authentic assessment; Criteria-based grading
