Overview
Background
After completing my undergraduate and postgraduate studies at the University of Melbourne, I had a Postdoctoral position at the University of Melbourne from 2011-2013 and held a Victorian Postdoctoral Resarch Fellowship at Kings College London (UK) from 2014-2015 and University of Melbourne in 2016. I took up an Australian Research Council DECRA Fellowship at Monash University from 2017-2019 and was a National Imaging Facility research fellow from 2020-2021. I joined The University of Queensland in 2022 as the Head of Radiochemistry at the Centre for Advanced Imaging.
