Summary
Dimitri Perrin is Head of School for Computer Science at QUT and Co-Director of the QUT Centre for Data Science, bringing 11+ years of academic leadership and research experience. His interdisciplinary expertise spans complex systems modelling, data science, computational and systems biology, biomedical imaging, gene editing, and parallel computing, with a track record of translating large-scale agent- and network-based models into applied health and sociomedical insights. He progressed from PhD research in computational biology to postdoctoral positions at RIKEN and Osaka University, and has shaped school strategy as Academic Lead for International & Engagement and Research. Dimitri combines hands-on computational rigor with strategic collaboration, recently extending his practice into sport analytics as Head of Data Science for the Queensland Reds. He is known for marrying advanced parallel computing methods with biological questions—an approach that enables experiments otherwise infeasible or unethical in the lab.
