Professor Ann E. Nicholson is Interim Dean in the Faculty of Information Technology of Australia's largest university, the Monash University in Melbourne.[1][2] She is a leading international researcher in the specialised area of Bayesian network.[2]
Nicholson completed her BSc and MSc in Computer Science at the University of Melbourne.[1] In 1988, she was awarded a Rhodes scholarship to the Oxford. Here she did her doctorate in the Robotics Research Group. After starting to work in the United States in 1992 as a post-doctoral research fellow at Brown University in Rhode Island, she took up a lecturing position at the Monash University in 1994.[1]
Nicholson has published more than 100 papers, with more than 5,000 citations, including co-authoring leading books of her specialised research area – the Bayesian Artificial Intelligence.[3][4]
Nicholson established consulting company Bayesian Intelligence in 2007[5] and is current serving as Honorary Secretary to the Victorian Rhodes Scholarship Selection Committee.[1]
