Dr François Petitjean

Former ARC DECRA Fellow

I am was an Academic at Monash University.

I used to do research in Machine Learning.

I built models for Environmental and Social Good.

In 2020, I decided to leave Academia after 11 terrific years in research and more than 7 years at Monash University.

I am excited to join the Australian Government where I hope to serve people more directly.

My dear AI research people, be well, compete less, and keep in mind the discriminations that the systems we develop might bring.
