I was appointed as the SEBE Streamleader of Deakin Science and Society Network (SSN) for the 2026–2027 term. In this leadership role, I contribute to driving interdisciplinary collaboration, strengthening links between research, policy and practice, and supporting the communication and translation of SEBE research to broader audiences, ensuring its impact across the university and beyond.

Australian Soft Robotic Society was founded in answer to the request of the national colleagues from Data61 CSIRO, QUT, University of Queensland, UNSW, and Monash University the First and Second Australian Soft Robotics Symposium, to be held at QUT and Deakin University, respectively, in 2024 and 2025. It aims to unite soft robotic scientists, researchers, and engineers across the Australasia region to build the community, exchange ideas and technologies, and accelerate progress in this emerging field in Australia.
