Dr Teo Susnjak PhD
Senior Lecturer in Computer Science and Information Technology
Doctoral Supervisor School of Mathematical and Computational SciencesPrior to his academic career, Teo was a touring Tennis Professional, representing New Zealand in the Davis Cup.
Following his sporting career, he pursued studies in Computer Science, being awarded a PhD for his research focusing in machine learning. He worked in industry as a machine learning analyst and still continues to research applied and practical aspects of machine learning, and more broadly artificial intelligence.
His recent interest in the emerging field of Data Science has expended his research to include Big Data technologies for data processing, wrangling and visualisation as well as process mining.
