Academic leadership, conference organization, and program committees
I hold significant leadership roles in both the international programming languages community and university administration. I currently serve as Chair of the SPLASH Steering Committee (2024 - 2026) and as Member at Large and Treasurer of the ACM SIGPLAN Executive Committee (2025 - 2027) - the premier professional organisation for programming language research. I was General Chair of SPLASH 2022 in Auckland, NZ, Research Committee Co-Chair for OOPSLA 2024, and PC Chair of APLAS 2025, along with numerous other chairing and programme committee roles spanning two decades.
Within the university, I served as Associate Director of HDR for the ANU School of Computing (2023 - 2025), overseeing admissions, supervision, and progress monitoring for over 200 PhD students. I revamped the admissions and scholarship process, created an HDR monitoring app adopted across the school, and established regular six-monthly progress reviews for all four research clusters. Previously, I served as Deputy Head of School at VUW (2022), managing 15 academic staff across four sub-schools during a major restructuring. I was also Program Convenor for the Bachelor of Engineering in Software Engineering at ANU (from 2022), and served on the Engineering New Zealand Accreditation Panel in 2018.
