I was awarded the third place in the Engaged Academic of the Year Award by the Accreditation Council for Entrepreneurial and Engaged Universities (ACEEU), and received the honour at the ACEEU Forum held in September 2025 in Prague, Czech Republic. This award recognises academics who have demonstrated outstanding commitment to connecting with external stakeholders such as industry, government, and community organisations. It honours individuals who apply their expertise beyond traditional academic duties to create tangible benefits for society through collaboration, practical solutions, and impactful engagement.
I am glad to share that, after being nominated by the Canadian Information Processing Society, I was awarded the IFIP/IP3 David O’Leary Award 2024 and received the honour at the International Federation for Information Processing General Assembly held in September 2025 in Nyon, Switzerland. I was further appointed as Director of the IFIP IP3 Global Industry Council, the principal forum through which ICT employers and educators engage with IP3 and influence the development of the global profession.
