Biography
Dr Adam Hines is a Research Fellow at the QUT Centre for Robotics with Dr Tobias Fischer and Prof. Michael Milford. He received his PhD in neuroscience from The University of Queensland in 2023 with undergraduate degrees in Medical Science with 1st class honours from the University of New South Wales (2013-2016). In 2022, he was the recipient of a prestigious and competitive Fulbright Scholarship where he undertook a 6 month research programme with Prof. Roderic Eckenhoff at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, USA.Dr Hines’ current research focus is on bio-inspired robotics for autonomous navigation and localisation systems, taking a multi-disciplinary approach by combining neuroscience and artificial intelligence. As a part of his research, he has been involved in multiple industry and defence projects including Intel Neuromorphic Research Community (INRC) and the Australia-US Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (AUSMURI) program with the Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG).
Adam has a deep commitment to the broader research community through his work with the Australasian Neuroscience Society’s Student Body Committee as Deputy Chair, the Early-Mid Career Brain Sciences Steering Committee, and as Associate Faculty with H1 Connect.
In addition to this, Dr Hines’ has received numerous awards for presentations and communications at national conferences including winning a 3-Minute Thesis (3MT) competition, a Student Presentation award, and a Best Image in Neuroscience competition.
