Briefly share about your research or thesis (i.e. dissertation topic for Masters by Coursework students).

I’m interested in how the emergence of new technology, such as artificial intelligence, will affect people at work. How do we design technology so that it is more human centred? And how should we design new job roles so that collaboration between employees and technology will not only bring about better organisational outcomes, but make employees feel valued and motivated too? These are a few key questions I am investigating!


Share a challenge you faced in graduate school and how you overcame it.

I would say you have to be comfortable with setting your own schedule and managing your own time. You need to be a self-starter and have intrinsic motivation for what you do. The other side of having a lot of freedom is being comfortable with managing what to do with it!
