Sponsored by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Australia-US Alliance Studies Scholarship will allow Dr Choo to undertake research into the current and future trends in cybercrime at Rutgers University’s School of Criminal Justice in New Jersey, and the Palo Alto Research Centre in California.

“Criminals and other actors with malicious intent have, undeniably, recognised the value of leveraging information and communications technologies to facilitate or enhance the commission of crimes and are dynamic in identifying new opportunities and ways to overcome counter-measures,” Dr Choo said.

Dr Choo enrolled in UQ Business School’s MBA program part-time in July 2004 while undertaking his PhD in Information Technology at QUT.

“I decided to undertake part-time studies with UQ mainly due to UQ’s reputation in delivering quality education and also UQ has a focused and targeted MBA degree with a flexible structure,” he said.

“I would not have submitted one of my assignments to a journal for peer review if not for the encouragement from my lecturer, Dr Peter Clutterbuck.”

The article was later published in the journal, Information Management & Computer Security.

Dr Choo works for the Australian Institute of Criminology, Australia’s pre-eminent national crime and criminal justice research agency.

His research for the institute encompasses the criminological aspects of technology-enabled crime as well as money laundering and terrorist financing through exploitation.
