Expertise

An internationally recognised expert in Artificial Intelligence, with over a decade of research leadership in AI safety, robustness, and machine learning for high-stakes applications. My work bridges foundational AI theory with real-world deployment, focusing on the reliability and integrity of AI systems in defence, energy, and critical infrastructure. I have led pioneering research in representation engineering, distribution shift, and anomaly detection, and have shaped national AI capability through extensive collaborations with government, industry, and defence. My solutions are embedded in operational systems across sectors and have delivered measurable economic and strategic impact. I am a 2024 Women in AI award winner for Defence and Intelligence and currently hold an ARC DECRA Fellowship at The University of Melbourne.
