How AI, robotics and accessibility became a career.

Curtin University Mechatronic Eng Honours · 2025 AI + Autism

Overview

Curtin University · Graduated February 2025

I graduated in February 2025 with a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Mechatronic Engineering from Curtin University.

I enjoyed applying artificial intelligence and machine learning to real human problems, and working on sustainable development and energy systems.

Honours thesis

My Honours thesis investigated how artificial intelligence, like ChatGPT, could assist with autism therapy and social skills development. My focus was evaluating ChatGPT's ability to write Social Stories, a tool used in supporting autistic individuals.

To add: thesis title, supervisor, submission year, and a link to the full document or abstract if available for sharing.

Interests carried through

The two themes that shaped my degree still drive my work today:

AI & machine learning — building tools that put artificial intelligence to work on genuine human problems.
Sustainable development & energy systems — an engineer's interest in designing for a more sustainable future.
