M.Phil (Engineering) Graduate

University of Sydney

I am an M. Phil graduate in Computer Science from the University of Sydney, driven by a deep passion for software development, research, and cybersecurity. Currently, I am working at the University of Sydney FMH Media Lab where I specialise in AI and full-stack development. Beyond technical expertise, I thrive in collaborative environments, drawing from my experiences from working as part of a team, both academically and through competitive sports, such soccer, rugby league, and touch football. These experiences have honed my adaptability, leadership, and resilience and made me a respected and valuable team member and colleague.

The Case for Sparse Pattern Based Bayesian Neural Networks
The overconfidence of DNNs has attributed to the recent trend towards stochastic machine learning with uncertainty quantification becoming an important requirement across many different tasks. As stated, the ability for a network to give an interpretation and provide statistical insights of its predictions is critical across numerous application domains.
