Teaching & mentoring
I coordinate and lecture INFS7410 at UQ, teaching 120+ Master's students across classical IR, dense retrieval, LLMs for search, RAG and evaluation. I mentor students on retrieval, RAG and biomedical NLP projects; several have progressed to PhD scholarships and SIGIR/ECIR papers.
Courses & supervision →Opportunities
I welcome research collaborations, student projects, and academic or industry roles where search agents, retrieval systems, efficient RAG, trustworthy evaluation or biomedical evidence technologies are central.
