Shaun Lehmann
Founder & Chief Nerd
Shaun has worked in the Higher Education sector for over a decade, and is an integrity data science pioneer. In collaboration with Kane, Shaun created the first scalable approaches to detecting and managing contract cheating and collusion in university courses. Using these methods, Shaun has successfully completed academic misconduct investigations spanning hundreds of subjects.
Shaun has been engaged as an expert by the Australian Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) to speak on data-driven approaches to detecting and managing contract cheating at scale.
In addition to his expertise as an integrity data scientist and investigator, Shaun has also designed curricula and taught across several disciplines, including anthropological genetics, critical thinking and reasoning, and academic writing (a subject on which he has co-authored two books).
