| 4/29/25 |  Tearing Your Hair Out in Meetings | This meeting is driving me INSANE ๐ก๐คฏ I regularly take requests for my #HackingAcademia series: today's request was one of many about how to deal with meetings where you're frustrated beyond belief, and want to tear your hair out. As someone who was driven nuts by this for much of my early career, but less often now, I have no easy solutions. I can however contribute a bunch of different perspectives that might help a little, as they did for me, when those wiser than me shared them. These i... | 10m 55s | ||||||

In today's #HackingAcademia video, I dive into these two situations, particularly focusing on a few key points: ๐ ๏ธ That you... | 9m 14s | ||||||
| 4/23/25 |  Experiences With and Thoughts on Artificial Intelligence: April 2025 Update | Time for an update on #ArtificialIntelligence, from my personal perspective in a professional context: my continued exploration of its intense usage in a day-to-day career (2 and a bit years and counting). Key concepts include: ๐ง Force Multiplying Experts More Than Beginners In my experience, these AI tools are helping experts more than anyone else. If three things come together: ๐น an expert who knows very well how to do the task entirely themselves ๐น someone experienced at giving detailed, n... | 12m 31s | ||||||
| 4/17/25 |  Running Research Projects Without the Meltdown | ๐ฉ Are you regularly stressed out, feel like you're in over your head, and wondering how you ended up working at 2 am on a Monday morning to meet a project deadline? You're not alone: I, and much of academia and research, have regularly found ourselves in this position. It's usually not because of a lack of talent, capability or passion - but often because we don't practice good, effective and pragmatic project management. The good news: there are lots of simple, straightforward things you can... | 13m 02s | ||||||

I thought a little bit about sending the wrong messaging with this image thumbnail (referencing Oliver Twist) about power dynamics, any possible symbolism about lack of funding in academia and all that... but given just as often I'm the one begging for funding as deciding it, and that I love Dickens, I'm sticking with it. And I also learnt something new today about the quote -see my note* below!) In tod... | 10m 08s | ||||||

The Goldilocks zone is also one of three "confidence zones" that I use to describe confidence levels, which are ever so important for so many things in your personal and professional lives, including applying for jobs, promotions, prizes, and general promotion of your work.

This is also my 50th ๐ Hacking Academia video ๐๐๐ !!!

| 3/24/25 |  Camera versus LiDaR | LiDaR versus Cameras The recent "Can You Fool A Self Driving Car?" video by YouTuber Mark Rober has 17.5 million views [1], is generating a lot of buzz, and is already the subject of a number of counter- and critique videos [2]. I've been asked by quite a few people what I think of it or to even post a video - so here it is. I'm speaking from the perspective of someone who: ๐ก first added an (single plane) "LiDaR" sensor to their camera-based autonomy stack back in 2004, and was amazed by ... | 14m 22s | ||||||

| 3/14/25 |  Side Gigs and Lessons Learned | Friday afternoon story time ๐๐ท๐ค One of the most pivotal stages of my early professional (and for the financial and other benefits, personal) life was writing my first maths "textbook", Not a C Minus, at age 18, and establishing my first educational publishing business. It was an unplanned, somewhat chaotic, and wonderfully enjoyable learning experience. In brief, the book became a runaway hit, sold around 6000 physical copies, and spawned my lifelong love of educational and entrepreneurial ... | 14m 16s | ||||||
| 3/7/25 |  What a PhD is Like | I've long maintained a webpage [1] that details what a #PhD is really like on a day to day basis in #robotics or related fields and in the Australian PhD system, but a lot of potential students we interact with like to hear us talk it through verbally. So today, taking advantage of both the #WFH mandate and the much-delayed landfall of #CycloneAlfred, I shot a #HackingAcademia video in my garden. Or at least starting in my garden, then transitioning undercover when it started raining! This ... | 20m 23s | ||||||
| 3/5/25 |  Rejection Still Sucks But In Different Ways | Rejection *always* sucks... but how it sucks evolves... After a brutal start to the year in terms of rejection after rejection, I wanted to post a Hacking Academia video on the nature of rejection, and how it can evolve, in a professional academic and research career. In the video, I cover the transition from rejection feeling very personal early in your career, to rejection generating concern over the wellfare and reactions of those in your team involved in the rejected initiative, esp... | 12m 15s | ||||||
