Biography

As a digitisation expert with the CSIRO's National Research Collections of Australia, I work on the future innovation methods to digitise and mobilise specimens and their data from CSIRO's 15 million biological specimens. I'm interested in making available specimens data once digitised for research use globally by manging the effective digitisation of CSIRO Collections, to facilitate capture, access, sharing and management of CSIRO collections metadata and digital collection assets.
