Published work, original sources and questions I am still working on.
My research
In my PhD at UTS, I study how scientific claims change in human and AI-mediated communication: what evidence still supports them, and what do earlier assessments and approvals still cover? AIJIM and the experimental editor SHARK are part of this research. NamicGreen is a separate, independent environmental project outside my PhD.
My work spans an AI model for environmental journalism, an Evidence-First architecture for organisational decision support, and a machine-checkable specification of publication conditions. Two published conference chapters and a preprint that has not been peer reviewed document this research trajectory.
The papers examine different objects: findings from the early environmental study do not establish the performance of the later reference model or protocol.
Research approach
Making sources, claims and accountability traceable
AIJIM explores how sources, changes and human decisions can remain connected to a published claim. Public papers and versioned research artifacts document its development.

My experimental editor environment
In SHARK, I explore ways of representing sources, changes and human decisions when writing with AI. Which approaches help, and where they add effort, remain open questions.

An independent environmental project
What remains of an environmental photograph when someone else takes over the case? NamicGreen aims to keep observations, evidence, decisions and the next inspection together. Originating in Mallorca, it is being developed for Mallorca and New South Wales, Australia. An old finding does not establish today's conditions.

Looking ahead · in development
A systematic review in development: how do scientific claims change as they travel through human and AI-mediated communication? No results are reported here yet.
What can dated sources establish about how scientific work handles new evidence? I am also interested in how publication delays affect our view of that process. Ongoing manuscript work, not a published study.
Taking a closer look
A fictional example: a single water measurement becomes the sentence ‘The water is safe everywhere’. What would need checking before publication?
‘Safe everywhere’ covers every location. The original claim concerned one sampling point on one day.
The evidence is still the same single measurement. The new wording adds no further data.
There is no evidence here for other places and times. The measurement alone does not support the generalisation.
In this example, a person limits the sentence to the sampling point and decides again. This illustrates the question, not a validated system.
