Research engagement

Abhinav is an active member and Assessor of the ANU Higher Education Academy fellowship program. He has participated in many of the annual professional development sessions organised by the ANU Higher Education Academy team.

Abhinav is also an Academic Supervisor in the CBE Internship program, since 2017. This allows him the opportunity to interact and guide highly motivated students to achieve their best in their internship program.

Teaching

Abhinav has taught a variety of courses in Actuarial Studies and Statistics including Regression Modelling, Life Contingencies, Financial Mathematics, Introduction to Mathematical Statistics and Multivariate Analysis. Abhinav is passionate about his teaching and always looks at opportunities to advance his skills as an effective teacher. He is genuinely interested in cultivating a better understanding of statistics in his students and thereby producing a greater appreciation of the subject.
