Biography
David teaches ATMC NZ’s undergraduate and postgraduate level programmes in software development and IT security management.
He holds a Bachelors in Software Engineering and a Masters in Information Systems both from AUT University, and a Graduate Diploma in Teaching from the University of Auckland. He will complete his PhD in 2020.
After graduating, he entered the industry and worked as a website developer and in data analysis, before starting his teaching career. David is a problem solver, who likes to use computational thinking in everything.
His favorite pass time activities include gardening, designing furniture, playing tennis and hacking. He loves Marvel and Disney studios.
Research areas of interest:
David’s doctoral studies involve Educational Datamining (EDM) for Personalised Educational Paradigm.
After five years of undertaking simulation studies in designing Personalised Information systems for patients, he is currently interested in ways of maximising the benefits and enabling the wider use of the personalisation technique including business and education domains and is also investigating how the qualitative outcomes of EDM can be utilised for assessing and supporting learners through a Mobile Devices in order to augment Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) initiative.
His current research projects include:
- The Usage of Machine Learning Techniques for Malware Analysis
- Malware classification and detection using artificial neural network
- The impact of blockchain technology in business domain, health sector and education field.
- Internet of Things (IoT) for smart life
