“The beauty of science is that everything is up for discussion. When I come to work I know that during that day I am going to learn something new and so will you. What attracted me back to the university sector, and particularly to UniSA, was their direct engagement with industry. UniSA has a reputation for doing good, high-quality research but then translating that into something meaningful.”
