Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Overview
Brendon Goh is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the School of Veterinary Science, Faculty of Science. He is currently working as a Postdoctoral Researcher investigating the NHMRC grant "Advancing enhanced biosecurity of major arboviral and other vector-borne diseases in Australia through near infrared spectroscopy technology" under the guidance of Dr. Silvia Ciocchetta. His PhD project is titled "Detection of malaria and arboviruses with spectroscopy and machine learning techniques" investigating the NHMRC grant "Development of instantaneous ultra-sensitive diagnostic tool to guide malaria elimination" under the guidance of Dr. Maggy Lord.
Research Impacts
I am currently researching the use of near-infrared spectroscopy technology coupled with machine learning techniques for the detection of pathogens; including arboviruses, bacteria, malaria, and other parasites.
