My research focuses on the transformative effects of artificial intelligence (AI) on the workforce and higher education. I am particularly interested in how AI-driven automation reshapes job markets, alters skill requirements, and spurs changes in educational curricula to prepare future generations for an evolving technological landscape.

I have received several internal and external awards for my innovative learning and teaching methods.

I am part of the Editorial Board of the Australian Journal of Management, the Journal of Information Systems Education and the Accounting, Auditing and Accountability Journal. In addition, I have published in top-tier journals such as the European Journal of Information Systems, International Journal of Information Management and the Journal of Vocational Behavior.
