Biography
Alan completed his PhD in Ecology at the University of Adelaide with research on improving the quality of biodiversity data collected using citizen science projects. As part of his PhD research, he developed species observation recording apps, including for the echidnaCSI project which was one of the 3 finalists for the 2021 Eureka Prize for Innovation in Citizen Science and won the South Australian Citizen Science and Engagement Award for Outstanding Science and Research. Prior to returning to Australia for his PhD, Alan had a wide-ranging career in software development internationally, with roles in major tech companies, government agencies, and research institutions, where he has consistently applied cutting-edge technologies to solve complex problems. His interests include software development, human-computer interaction and usability, biodiversity conservation and ecology, citizen science, machine learning/AI and the combination of these areas for positive contributions to our shared world and knowledge systems. As part of the Collaborative Intelligence Future Science Platform (CINTEL FSP), Alan is researching how humans can effectively collaborate with AI systems to improve the management and use of the wealth of data contained in our global biological collections.
