Alexander Sullivan is a computer scientist and researcher from Brisbane who graduated with a B.A. in Applied Mathematics in Computer Science, Cum Laude, from Harvard University. He received highest honours from the Applied Mathematics Department for his thesis which improved the algorithmic fairness of selection techniques for elite sports teams. With his Ramsay Postgraduate Scholarship, Alexander will study a Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering Science at the University of Oxford to develop new AI methods to protect the privacy of energy data whilst maintaining utility for system security, operations and further research. This builds upon Alexander’s work as a software engineer providing statistical performance analysis for a satellite array at Lynk Global. Whilst at Harvard and in his spare time Alexander rowed and debated competitively. Post study, Alexander hopes to continue his work on data privacy, developing new AI protection algorithms and helping to shape policies that safeguard Australians without hindering innovation.
