Robert Andrews first joined QUT in 1990. During the period 1990-2001 he worked as an academic in the School of Information Systems, teaching mainly in relational database, and researching in the area of machine learning and explainable neural networks. He gained his PhD in this area in 2003 and spent the next 13 years as an IT consultant.
In 2016, Robert Andrews re-joined the School of Information Systems’ Business Process Management group in 2016 as a research fellow working on applying process mining techniques in the healthcare and insurance sectors.
He is currently a senior research fellow working on projects involving pre-hospital transport and retrieval, patient journeys and outcomes following major trauma, and process-data quality.
