Biography

Dr Terence Sibanda is a Post-Doctoral research fellow within the School of Environmental and Rural Science at the University of New England. His research interest lies in generating data-driven solutions to complex animal movement, modelling of husbandry conditions and behaviour of free-range laying hens for their well-being and optimum egg productivity. Dr. Sibanda applies modern machine learning and statistical methods to learn about pattern and processes in poultry health with a particular focus on the uses of aviary system in free-range laying hens. In his current position, his research is broadening out and also focusing on poultry nutrition, egg production modelling, 3D synthetic data generation and disease early warning systems.

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
