Our People

Research Academics in Artificial Intelligence Applications Laboratory

 Our group collaborates with high profile researchers within and outside of UniSQ and Australia. They play a vital role in supervision, mentoring and research training of higher degree students, research grant applications, and publication co-authorship of quality research outcomes. Each researcher has their own network and brings in knowledge from various research collaborators to provide enrichment and learning experiences for HDR students who work closely with industry.
