As a talented cyber security teacher at Federation University, Adam’s secret power is his ability to make information technology interesting and fun. He has been teaching in the tertiary education sector for 11 years, and prior to that worked as a programmer and cyber security expert for eight years.

Enthusiastically fostering a passion for lifelong learning, Adam shares the wonders and infinite possibilities of science and technology with his students. In the spirit of inclusivity, he overhauled Federation University’s cyber security program and designed a curriculum that was adaptive and practical. To prepare students for the realities of the modern workplace, he uses real-life hacking scenarios where students build gaming networks that subsequently have to be defended against Adam’s cyber-attacks.

After years of work and research in programming, cyber security and machine learning, it turns out that sharing the endless possibilities of technology in the classroom is Adam’s greatest passion.
