BIO

Deakin Distinguished Professor Kon Mouzakis is a Professor of Software and Technology Innovation. A Decision Support and Software Development expert with over 30 years of experience, he is a Co-Director of the Applied AI Institute (A2I2).

Over the past 5 years, Kon has attracted over $15 million in contract R&D and consulting activities. He has developed software solutions and concept demonstrators for organisations including Dementia Australia, Black Dog Institute, Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG), and the World Economic Forum. He developed the Trauma Reception and Resuscitation Decision Support tool in collaboration with the Alfred Hospital's Trauma Center. This world-first development reduced the number of errors that clinicians made in the first 30 minutes of patient arrival.

Kon is an advisor to the Trauma Centre of the Alfred Hospital, and to several technology companies in Australia. Kon is a tenured senior academic at Deakin University and, prior to this, at Swinburne University of Technology where he taught and researched in the areas of mobile technology, usability of complex systems and interface design.

From 2018 to 2023, Kon served as Director of the Australian Research Council Industrial Transformation Research Hub for Digital Enhanced Living.
