 he Modern Researcher with the Aid of Technology\n\nAbstract: Branding and 
 profile building is an entirely optional but often highly beneficial (to y
 our career) component of being a modern researcher and academic. In this t
 alk I’ll highlight the key motivations for why you might consider doing 
 so\, including a frank assessment of the potential downsides. I’ll take

 from 2022 - 2027 he will be leading a large research team as part of an Au
 stralian Research Council Laureate Fellowship\, attempting to combine bio-
 inspired and computer science-based approaches to provide a ubiquitous alt
