Large-scale multimodal knowledge management: From organization and user modeling to fast contextual presentation
KMASS Role: Development Team Leader (Mid 2023 - Current)
This project aims to develop a fast and scalable system that organises knowledge efficiently, captures local knowledge effortlessly, and delivers contextualized knowledge economically. This system can provide valuable support for various tasks in a collaborative work environment, including training, knowledge transfer, content creation, team management, and evaluation. Potential collaborators for this project may include higher education institutions, intensive-care units, or emergency response services, particularly those dealing with multi-modal data, high staff turnover, time-sensitive operations, and policy-driven requirements.

Academic Analytics @ Monash
ADE Role: Researcher, User Interface Designer (Mid 2020 - 2021)
With the goal to support better uses of data for the enhancement of educational quality and student experience at Monash University, a university-wide consultations was carried out to involve key stakeholders in a co-design process of analytics tool development and implementation strategy. Thirty-one participants, made of Deputy/ Associate Deans in Education and their senior management teams, from all the ten faculties participated in the interviews. The report highlighted key areas for consideration when planning next steps for the institutional development of academic analytics, including strategic planning and wider consultations with other stakeholders. The team also proposed comprehensive blueprints for both the development and execution of possible analytics tools.

CRC-P: Smart Linings for Pipe and Infrastructure Project (Decision Tool)
Monash Pipe Evaluation Platform is designed to assist asset managers, project managers and liner installers by: i) Providing a tool to rank pipes by their likelihood of failure; ii) Assessing the condition of the ranked pipes; iii) Recommending suitable types of liners; and iv) Calculating the expected life of the lined pipe. Role: UI design, development, testing, and deploying the complete web application on Water Services Association of Australia (WSAA) server. WSAA is the peak industry body representing the urban water industry, with its members providing water and sewerage services to over 24 million customers in Australia and New Zealand. The Australian Government, through the Cooperative Research Centre, provided funding for the Smart Linings for Pipe and Infrastructure Project. The Pipe Evaluation Platform was a key deliverable of this project contributing to 1.2 Sub-Project 1: Intelligent decision tools and standards and 1.5 Sub-Project 4: Implementation and adoption of research. ★The "Smart Linings for Pipe and Infrastructure" project became a Finalist in R&D Excellence Award 2021 presented by the Australian Water Association VIC Branch.

LearnerFlow: An Instructor-Facing Learning Analytics Dashboard
LearnerFlow Role: Researcher and Lead Developer (2018 to 2020)
The LearnerFlow Tool was an outcome of my doctoral research. This tool was piloted in two courses in S1 2019 (ENG1003 & FIT5145) with approximately 1500 students in the Faculty of IT at Monash University and aimed to support instructors in evaluating their learning designs. Its implementation provided valuable insights into optimising learning experiences for students. ★ The research paper based on this project was Nominated for Best Full Paper Award at The ACM Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education (ITiCSE) 2020 .

Early Warning System - FSTE Learning & Teaching Project - USP
EWS Role: Researcher, Conceptualisation and Developer of Version 1 (2013 to 2014)
This project stemmed from my masters research and focused on using trace data to identify early indicators of "at-risk" students and produced various reports that facilitated implementing interventions to support these students and improve their academic outcomes. The tool was implemented in 16 courses (3500+ students) at USP between 2013 to 2016. ★ The impact of this project has featured in a prestigious Q1-ranked journal: Studies in Higher Education.
