About

At RMIT University, engineering has a proud legacy shaped by more than a century of innovation, industry connection, and real-world impact. Today, the School of Engineering continues this tradition as a globally recognised leader in applied research and industry-relevant education, with deep partnerships across industry and a strong international outlook. As Dean, I am honoured to build on this foundation and lead a School where education, research, and collaboration come together to address the complex challenges facing our communities and industries.

My approach is grounded in collaboration, curiosity, and connection. Having been part of RMIT for many years, I deeply value the expertise, diversity and commitment of our staff and students across the School and broader university. I am committed to working closely with our community and partners to identify where we can have the greatest impact, while continuing to build on the strengths that already define us.  By strengthening our connections with industry and continuing to invest in the environments that support hands-on, practice-based learning and research, we will ensure our graduates are equipped to thrive and lead in a rapidly changing world.

Looking ahead, my vision is one of shared progress, innovation and meaningful impact. We will embrace emerging technologies, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and deepen our partnerships locally and globally. Together, we will continue shaping the future of engineering education, research and industry collaboration - advancing knowledge, delivering real outcomes for society and preparing the next generation of engineers to solve the challenges of tomorrow.
