Services

I’m available for a wide range of engagements, from keynotes and presentations to workshops, reviews, panels, and podcasts. Whether you’re looking for an inspiring talk, an interactive session, a thought-provoking conversation, or a detailed review of policy and strategy, I bring expertise, energy, and tailored insights to every audience. Let’s create something impactful together.

Keynote Speaker & Podcasts

Sasha is a charismatic communicator who specialises in keynote speaking. He is a regular speaker or panelist at education conferences including ICEE2021, IEEE UNITE2022, AAEE2023, IEIR2024, CSCE2024

Example: IEIR2024 - 2024 International Conference on Intelligent Education and Intelligent Research (China)

I delivered an engaging presentation exploring the challenges and opportunities GenAI presents for rethinking and redesigning assessment in higher education, setting the tone for the rest of the conference.

Sasha also provides deep and innovative insights via podcast interviews

Example: SEFI (European Engineering Education Society) Podcast

Xinguo YU, IEIR2024 Conference Chair

"Your keynote speech was a highlight of the conference and made a significant impact"

Workshops & Reviews

Sasha leverages his research and practice-based expertise to deliver impactful workshops and reviews that inform, educate, and support communities in making informed decisions. Tailored made to meet requirements.

Example: Sydney Polytechnic Institute (SPI) - April 2025

​I delivered a 3-hour workshop for SPI, guiding them in exploring the ethical use of AI, comparing GenAI-related policy from other institutions, identifying practical applications in teaching and assessment, and reviewing selected units to assess risks and opportunities for AI integration

"This workshop exceeded our expectations. You kept us engaged, learning and thinking for the full 3 hours”

Anthony Kadi, SPI Course Coordinator

Presentations

Through clear and compelling presentations, I communicate the value of research to diverse audiences, bridging the gap between academic insight and practical application

Example: University of Technology Sydney (UTS) - April 2025

I delivered an interactive presentation that took participants on a journey from focusing on cheating and AI to exploring how we can foster meaningful learning with AI.

Haleh RASEKH, University of Technology Sydney

“The seminar was not only timely and thought-provoking, but also filled with practical strategies that sparked valuable discussions across our academic community."
