She previously held a research position at the Ian Wark Research Institute, University of South Australia, attracting over $3.7M of external funding. Through strong links, networks and secondment experience, her research has developed an industrial focus. Her leadership and management has ensured successful research outcomes, translating to technology transfer and high quality, international publications.
