Expertise
My work sits at the intersection of technology, higher education, research, and development. I focus on practical applications of digital technologies that strengthen institutions, improve learning, support research, and address real-world challenges in health, agriculture, and sustainable development.
These areas are intentionally interconnected. Insights from digital education inform my work in research capacity and doctoral supervision; responsible AI principles shape my work in health and agriculture; and international partnerships provide the platform through which ideas can be tested, shared, and scaled.
Four pillars
Eight areas of expertise, grouped by the kind of problem they address.
Strengthening how universities teach, research and adopt technology.
Ethical, inclusive and secure use of AI and digital systems.
Digital tools applied to health, agriculture and sustainable cities.
Academic partnerships and mobility that last.
