Looking to meet with industry from all sectors whom have a desire to innovate and engage in R&D projects.

AMSIIntern is a national program that provides a platform for industry to engage and attract talent into their organisation through short-term tightly focused research projects. Operating across a range of disciplines and sectors, the program establish's industry driven R&D projects that are completed by PhD students full-time (4-5months), with the support of their academic mentor.

AMSI Intern works at the nexus between academia and industry, creating and strengthening links between businesses and universities, increasing awareness of the value-add that can be achieved through the engagement of high-level research capability.

As Industry Program Manager at the University of Newcastle I am interested in all areas of research/industry engagement and innovation. I have recently moved to the University after over 10 years with the Australian Research Council and am enthusiastic to engage with business, industry and government. I am keen to meet with:
- business and industry partners who would like to know more about the research capabilities of the University of Newcastle;
- researchers who would like to collaborate on new opportunities;
- research and innovation managers who would like to share knowledge and experience of research management, industry engagement, and government policy.

Research Overview: I am a researcher who has developed novel technologies for re-engineering genes in plant chloroplasts, from basic research through to early-stage commercial development, now within a start-up company, TerraVerde Solutions (TVS). TVS’s flexible platform couples improved power for plant growth and resilience with ability to concurrently install multiple traits-of-choice that leverage the plant’s increased robustness.

Interests: I am keen to talk with commercial, government and not-for-profit partners and investors in industries including agriculture, food, environmental sustainability and defence interested in our approach in working collaboratively to develop and implement solutions. For example customized crop and other plants with improved resource efficiency, pest and disease resistance, nutritional value, food storage, food consumer acceptance, land remediation or protection uses, and sensors for toxic and hostile chemicals.

Why meet me? Attendees interested in the next wave of “non GM” plants using state-of-the art safe, precision, methods, much shorter concept to marketing timeframe and development cost, and reduced regulatory uncertainty and cost might like to meet with me.

I am an optics engineer working in the field of Adaptive Optics with the application for satelite imaging and space situational awareness at the Australian National University.
I am interested in meeting businesses particularly involved in the broad field of optics and photonics, in the space or medical industry. Particularly, if those businesses are involved with Adaptive Optics solutions for space/astronomy applications, vision science or medical imaging research.
I am interested in establishing collaborations on a the mid- to long-term scale.
I am also interested in talking to businesses which are interested in collaborating with the research sector to promote STEM subject amongst children and young adults as well as the broader public.
