ACADEMIC EXPERIANCES

Academically published and presented at the International Maritime Conferences 7 Nov 2023 (IMC 2023) within Indo-Pacific International Maritime Exposition (Indo-Pac 2023). Offering a case study and new naval capability measurement for "How to survive a hypersonic hit". 

Presented as a keynote speaker at the Civil Defence (CIVDEF) and IMC within Indo-Pac 2022. Offering a USN major fires case study and demonstrating novel technology proposals within the Indo-Pac keynote positions. 

I have successfully filled one PCT (international) patent that received a clear IPRP. This encouraged me to author an additional provisional patent application and apply myself to transition it into an international filing, leading to novelty, inventiveness, and publishing of my second PCT. 

Proud to have connected with the maritime industry journal regarding this novel research, I was thrilled to see the interview published in the Professional Mariner:

Technology, innovative designs advance maritime firefighting, training – Professional Mariner. 

Tank tank facilitator for Navy Warfare Innovation (WIN) Workshops. 2020 - 2022

My passion for Navy innovation has seen me participate in numerous WIN think tanks, projects and hackathons in a team leader role.

Facilitating Academia, Navy, Industry, and DSTG groups to collaborate in a think tank of future warfare environments. In our aim to find innovative solutions for future maritime operations and combat emerging technical advisories.

Coaching teams in design thinking, process improvement and additive manufacturing. I work to introduce industry and uniform members to the future of Naval technology.

These experiences endorsed me to contribute to the National Innovation Policy Forum at Parliament House 2022.
