Brandon is a Research Assistant at the Centre for Human Factors and Sociotechnical Systems and is currently involved in a project assessing the risks and societal impacts of emerging advanced technologies.
He has previously supported projects including identifying the risks of artificial general intelligence systems, assisting the evaluation of a military artificial intelligence decision support system, and training and evaluating Queensland Health practitioners in the use of systems thinking methods.
Brandon completed his Psychology Honours at the Centre and is now a PhD candidate investigating the risks of advanced brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) with a Research Training Program scholarship. In addition to BCIs, Brandon is interested in applying Human Factors and systems thinking methods to problems such as the integration of other advanced technologies into society and within defence sciences.
He has previously supported a longitudinal project which introduced systems thinking methods to Queensland Health practitioners. This involved the delivery of eight workshops throughout Queensland to train practitioners in the use of systems thinking risk assessment and accident analysis methods. Data was collected and analysed over 9 months for dissemination through a report, conference presentations, and peer-reviewed journal articles.
