1. What is your job title?

Manager, Institutional Analytics and Data Science at The University of Sydney.

2. Briefly, how would you describe your role in terms of your place in your institution?

Running a small but busy ‘data R&D’ team – integrating, exploring, and visualising institutional data in new ways to support emerging strategic reporting needs.

3. From your perspective, what are the emerging areas of interest in institutional research?

Everyone is interested in geospatial data, especially in a COVID-19 world. Where are our students, and how do we know that what they’ve told us is correct? We don’t have tracking devices on all of them, but ‘big’ data can be almost as good.
