Selected profiles of our people
Professor Thomas Maschmeyer (Federation Fellow)
 |
Professor Thomas Maschmeyer, Federation Fellow and Professor of Chemistry, thinks "green". Much of his work is aimed at producing chemicals in the bulk chemicals, intermediates and pharmaceuticals industries more sustainably, using new fundamental insights on the molecular and nanoscopic level. |
Associate Professor Maria Byrne
 |
Marine Biologist Associate Professor Maria Byrne has developed Evo-Devo, a research programme on Evolution and Development. This rapidly expanding field of research lies at the core of her ARC funded research and postgraduate teaching program in the Byrne Laboratory in the Department of Anatomy and Histology. |
Elisha Harris puts safety first
 |
Forget the house of cards and fiddlesticks ... PhD student Elisha Harris prefers stacking steel, then breaking it with hydraulic actuators capable of exerting a force of up to 500 kN (50 tonnes). |
Sam Buchanan tests the waters
 |
Sam Buchanan is not an archetypal desk-bound PhD swot. Asked to outline research methodology for his PhD - "Hydrological Modelling in the Bourke Irrigation District" - he launches into a vivid description of swimming out into the middle of the Darling River to collect riverbed core soil samples in plastic tubes. |
