I am a Nepal-born Australian academic and researcher who is passionate about higher education and graduate employability. I joined the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ) in 2016. I completed my PhD as part of the Australian Research Council (ARC) Industry Linkage project working with ICT practitioners and academics from UniSQ and Griffith University in Queensland, Australia. My doctoral dissertation reported the development and evaluation of a software-mediated process assessment approach in IT Service Management. My PhD was awarded the best Australian thesis in Information Systems by the ACPHIS (Australian Council of Professors and Heads of Information Systems) in 2016. My research was also recognized by the IT industry by winning the iAwards Queensland IT innovation winner in 2015. My research interests are interdisciplinary in nature, exploring the Information Systems, Computer Science and Management disciplines into broad areas of ICT, Digital Transformation and Knowledge Management in the context of regional development in businesses and communities. I use a range of methodologies, including design science research, case study, survey, and systematic literature reviews in my projects. Anup have over 95 research outputs and publications have appeared in highly-ranked Information Systems academic journals including the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) A* outlets such as the Journal of the Association for Information Systems, Information & Management and International Journal of Information Management.
