I am a Computer Science PhD student at Monash University, Caulfield Campus. My advisors are Prof. Bernd Meyer and Dr. Aldeida Aleti. I am passionate about data analytics and extracting business relevant insights and recommendations from data.
My current research focuses on using machine learning and data mining methods in novel ways in education, especially for behavioural analytics, analytics for content authoring, computer supported collaborative learning and personalisation of learning experiences.
I received my Bachelor's and Master's degree in Computer Science from The University of the South Pacific, Fiji Islands. I have worked as an academic and as a business analyst at a leading regional food company with manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sales operations in the Asia Pacific region.

Online Courses and Workshops
In this repository, you will find course materials for teaching data visualization with Python. I'll be developing (adapting) these teaching materials over time to provide a hands-on course that will take you from beginner to intermediate level of programming data visualizations. Some of the material/courses designed has been used in my PhD studies for the purpose of student behaviour modeling.
