Market-oriented research driving technology innovation

With a PhD in Chemistry, I have dedicated a decade of my career to working at Callaghan Innovation and its predecessors, primarily as a scientist based at our Gracefield site.

My journey commenced with fundamental research, and as Callaghan evolved to focus more on market-oriented work, I transitioned into the field of materials science. It was during this time that I served as a Team Leader, overseeing critical projects in materials science and leading a team of talented professionals.

I work closely with our esteemed Biotechnology group engaging with clients within the vibrant New Zealand innovation ecosystem. These forward-thinking individuals and organisations fuel my passion for driving innovation and technological advancements.

Working with clients at the forefront of innovation is an incredibly rewarding experience. It brings me great satisfaction to contribute to their success and witness the positive impact they make on the world through their innovative solutions.
