Dr Tariq Aziz | School of Computing, Mathematics and Engineer, Dr Leigh Grant | School of Psychology, Dr Samantha Jones | Australian Graduate School of Policing and Security, and Dr Buddhika Muddanayake | School of Business joins us for episode 5. Each brings a distinct perspective to their field, and together they reflect the depth, diversity, and growing influence of research across the faculty. We highlight some of the faculty’s rising research voices: colleagues whose work is beginning to shape conversations within and beyond our academic community.
This ends series 3. We will be back with more Ergo Cogito episodes in series 4, returning in August 2026. Thank you for listening.
