Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeremy Herbert is a lecturer and engineer in Brisbane with 17 years of experience blending academic teaching, research in biomedical/optical engineering, and hands-on electronics prototyping and manufacturing. He holds a PhD and first-class honours in Electrical and Biomedical Engineering and founded a medical-instrumentation startup where he led embedded design, biosignal processing and design-for-manufacture. At The University of Queensland he has progressed from tutor to lecturer, teaching across engineering, mathematics and science while maintaining a commercial practice (Herbert Engineering) building hardware and firmware. An active open-source contributor and QA/test automation engineer on the widely used cocotb project, he helped port tests to Python 3 and hardened CI to catch subtle RTL simulation edge cases. Outside work he pursues continual learning through building projects and rock climbing, a combination that surfaces in pragmatic, resilient designs and teaching.
