A Message From Paul
Paul Darwen your LNP candidate for Woodridge
Paul Darwen grew up on a mango farm in north Queensland and is passionate about family-owned businesses across Queensland.
After high school, Paul went to Canberra and completed a Bachelor of Science in applied mathematics and theoretical physics at the Australian National University. He followed this with a PhD in artificial intelligence from the University of New South Wales.
He was also a postdoctoral fellow at the Volen National Center for Complex Systems at Brandeis University in Boston, Massachusetts, in the United States.
After several years working as an adjunct researcher and in start-ups, Paul followed his passion for teaching and became a lecturer at the James Cook University Brisbane campus. He is currently the Associate Dean of Information Technology, overseeing the Bachelor of IT and Master of IT degrees.
His current research looks at methods of data mining and time-series prediction for problems with limited or noisy data, with applications that include diagnosing rare diseases and predicting extreme weather events like river floods.
Paul has seen Woodridge let down by a decade of Palaszczuk/Miles Labor Government failures. Crime is out of control, ambulance ramping is at record highs, housing shortages are driving up rents and the cost of living is rising faster than the rest of Australia.
Only by changing the government will we get Queensland heading in the right direction.
