A recent Charles Sturt University graduate’s IT innovation tested in real-world environments has improved the speed, productivity and cost-effectiveness of business process management (BPM) systems and led to the development of commercial products.
Dr Luke Bartlett graduated with Doctor of Information Technology in the Charles Sturt School of Computing, Mathematics and Engineering, having completed the higher degree research (HDR) program part-time while working full-time in the industry in which he is currently employed.
Dr Bartlett’s HDR project significantly transformed BPM by integrating virtualisation and work design into BPM system architecture, which has led to the development of commercial products now used by leading global companies such as RBC Group and JayB Enterprises.
This groundbreaking research earned a commendation for the prestigious Vice-Chancellor’s Research Excellence Award 2024 - HDR Thesis of the Year in the Charles Sturt Faculty of Business, Justice and Behavioural Sciences (BJBS).
Associate Professor in Computer Science Ashad Kabir in the Charles Sturt School of Computing, Mathematics and Engineering was principal supervisor of Dr Bartlett’s doctorate.
