Talks
I firmly believe that strong communication skills are indispensable to any scientist. Communicating science optimally to both expert audiences and the general public is a key part of each researcher’s job description.
Academic
I have given eight contributed talks at national and international astronomical conferences across Australia and Europe, with competitive participation. Four of my contributed talks have been recognised with awards.
I have also given five invited colloquia and talks to the Australian and international astronomical community.
Some of my talks and colloquia are publicly available and can be viewed through the links below:
- July 2026 – Astronomical Society of Australia ASM 2026 contributed talk – recording coming soon

- May 2023 – ASTRO 3D Excellence Centre Legacy Science Meeting talk
- July 2022 – Astronomica society of Australia Annual Science Meeting talk
- May 2022 – ASTRO 3D Excellence Centre Annual Science Meeting talk
Outreach
I am committed to increasing public engagement with science and technology and I regularly participate in outreach activities. Most notably, in October 2025 I have a TEDx talk during their Swinburne University event. The talk presented potential scenarios for the fate of our Universe, and how we can distinguish between them. My talk was selected for media promotion due to its high potential impact – watch it by clicking the link below.
