My teaching was acknowledged by multiple teaching awards. I acted as an interviewer for Medical students (Medical entry program) and higher degree by research (HDR) students and was involved in the HDR students recruitment. I am also regularly involved in the annual HDR review process, and in judging presentations at different national and international meetings and allocating awards. I was a panel member of the HDR supervisory forum which used to be held at the Kolling institute.
