- I received my PhD from the Australian National University (Canberra). Previously I trained as a chemical engineer, having earned B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Cincinnati (Cincinnati, Ohio, United States). Prior to joining the CSIRO, I worked as a chemical engineer for Henkel Chemicals (later Cognis, now part of BASF), as well as a Research Associate for the United States Antarctic Program based at McMurdo Station (Ross Island, Antarctica).
