Biography
As a senior research scientist within the Industry Environment Program at CSIRO Environment, based in Canberra, my fervour lies in three captivating areas of research that span across diverse domains. Firstly, I'm immersed in applied genomics research, skillfully leveraging the potential of bioinformatics to expedite discoveries and drive applications. Next, my focus shifts towards harnessing the remarkable capabilities of insects as engineers, propelling circular economy endeavors that transform waste into invaluable resources. Lastly, my curiosity drives me to unravel novel gene-enzyme systems with the potential to catalyze a revolution in biotechnology. With these three passions interwoven, my commitment is firmly rooted in shaping a brighter future through the realms of science and innovation, creating impactful outputs across environment, health, food, and biosecurity domains.
