Professor of Biotechnology, Te Herenga Waka — Victoria University of Wellington
I am a microbiologist and enzyme engineer, and my primary research focus is on discovery, characterisation, engineering and application of useful bacterial enzymes, and of novel antibiotics to counter the spread of multi-drug resistant bacteria. I have a particular interest in tailoring enzyme activities by directed evolution - a powerful engineering approach that applies Darwinian evolutionary principles at a single-gene level, using iterative rounds of focused mutagenesis followed by artificial selection of enhanced enzyme variants to improve desirable activities. I am also excited by the discovery of “unknown unknown” enzymes from soil-dwelling bacteria – enzymes we don’t presently know about that can catalyse useful chemical reactions, such as degradation of recalcitrant environmental pollutants. This approach tends to uncover enzymes that are relatively weak and ineffectual to begin with, but which can prove to be excellent start points for directed evolution, seeking to create practical solutions to major problems.

Senior Scientist, Centre for Frontier AI Research (CFAR), Agency for Science, Technology and Research, Singapore
David is Senior Scientist at the Centre for Frontier AI Research, A*STAR in Singapore. His work is to design AI systems with an open mind to the various sub-disciplines, though with an emphasis on safety and robustness.
In a quest to understand the mind, David started the study of psychology, in which he obtained an MSc in Psychology (Theory and Research Option) from the Catholic University of Leuven (KUL) in the year 2014 (cum laude). Beyond the neuroscience and principles of cognition that inspired the quest, these years were also formative in terms of research methodology, with a strong emphasis on the scientific method, modelling techniques and statistics. While studying psychology, David found that he was more interested in designing systems that following intelligent principles (Artificial Intelligence), rather than trying to copy the -- potentially sub-optimal -- way in which humans reason (Psychology). Thus he went on to do an MSc in Artificial Intelligence (Engineering and Computer Science Option) also at the KUL, a study from which he graduated in the year 2015 (magna cum laude).
From late 2015 until 2019, David joined the University of Southampton for a PhD programme in artificial intelligence. During this project, he studied reinforcement learning in long-term unknown environments, where only few assumptions could be made on the learning environment: sparse reward environments may hamper the ability to learn any rewarding patterns; partial observability and limited knowledge hamper the ability to investigate the environment; many unknown tasks may be presented in sequence (lifelong learning).
In 2019, David started a postdoc at Southampton to improve the robustness of robots to sudden faults or other types of changes in the environment.

Mualgal man, Moa Island, Torres Strait, Indigenous Knowledge
Torres Strait Island artist David Bosun grew up in a very sensitive cultural environment and from the age of four he practised traditional dancing and singing. He first became interested in art in grade six after participating in an art class at school. David went to Thursday Island Secondary school and later moved to All Saints and St Gabriels Anglican college in Charters Towers, Queensland. During High School he was always in trouble for drawing in class instead of doing his work.
David has attended James Cook University and Cairns TAFE. He travelled extensively internationally with the touring exhibition Gelam my Son. He was also part of a delegation to Cambridge University and is believed to be part of the first people from the Torres Strait to examine the Haddon Collection of Torre Strait artefacts. David has also attended a cultural exchange in Suva, Fiji.
David believes that both the future generations in the Torres Strait as well as the rest of the world need to be educated about the rich cultural heritage and distinctiveness of Torres Strait culture. He is striving to record and illustrate his ancestral beliefs & traditions through the visual and performing arts.
