About
I am a Lecturer at the School of Cybernetics, Australian National University (ANU), in Canberra, Australia.
My research sits at the intersection of topology, complexity science, cybernetics, and information dynamics. I study how structure emerges, evolves, and sometimes degrades in systems composed of many interacting parts—from geometric point patterns to human–AI communication systems and knowledge landscapes.
Across these projects, I use topology not only as a mathematical toolkit, but as a way of seeing: a means of identifying shapes, holes, flows, and structural signatures that reveal how local interactions give rise to global phenomena.
Teaching and public engagement
I teach across undergraduate, postgraduate, and non-award learning contexts, with an emphasis on helping learners reason with complexity, build conceptual tools, and engage responsibly with emerging technologies.
