Jim Hogan

Associate Professor Jim Hogan is an academic leader in the School of Computer Science at Queensland University of Technology (QUT), serving as Academic Lead for Learning and Teaching. He holds a PhD in Computer Science (QUT) and a BSc (Hons) in Mathematics (University of Queensland). His expertise spans Bioinformatics, Visualization, Machine Learning, and Software Engineering (Agile Methodologies). He has secured $2M+ in research funding and authored over 100 publications, including works on sequence analysis, bioinformatics visualization, and cloud computing education.

Teaching contributions include pivotal roles in modernizing software engineering curricula (e.g., introducing Agile Methodologies and Australia’s first Cloud Computing course). Awards include the QUT Distinguished Teaching Award and a Federal Carrick Institute Citation. He supervises student projects in bioinformatics, visualization, and computational methods. Collaborations with industry (Microsoft, AWS, CSIRO) and leadership in projects like the ARC Linkage-funded 'Visual Analytics for Next-Gen Sequencing' highlight his interdisciplinary impact.

• Education: PhD (QUT), BSc(Hons) & BSc (UQ)
