Professor Ann E. Nicholson FTSE (born June 1965), is Dean in the Faculty of Information Technology of Australia's largest university, Monash University in Melbourne.[1][2] She is a researcher in the specialised area of Bayesian networks.[2]
Nicholson completed her BSc and MSc in Computer Science at the University of Melbourne.[1] In 1988, she was awarded a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford. Here she did her doctorate in the Robotics Research Group. After starting work in the United States in 1992 as a post-doctoral research fellow at Brown University in Rhode Island, she took up a lecturing position at Monash University in 1994.[1]
Nicholson has published more than 120 papers, with more than 7,000 citations, including co-authoring leading books in her specialised research area – Bayesian Artificial Intelligence.[3][4]
Nicholson established the consulting company Bayesian Intelligence in 2007[5] and is currently serving as Honorary Secretary to the Victorian Rhodes Scholarship Selection Committee.[1] In 2022 she was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering.[6]
