Researcher Profiles

I am a marine ecologist with a special interest in shellfish ecology. My research is heavily focused on applied marine conservation management and restoration ecology. Much of my research has focused on the capacity of wild oyster populations to protect coastal biodiversity from the extremities of climate change. The majority of this work has been conducted along the east coast of Australia and in Hong Kong.

Rong is a PhD student in pharmacogenomics and currently supervised by Professor Andrew Somogyi, Associated Professor Betty Sallustio, Dr Janet Coller and Dr Daniel Barratt. She is now participating in a project of tacrolimus pharmacogenomics and aiming to find potential genetic predictors for tacrolimus dose as well as acute rejection and nephrotoxicity variance among kidney transplant recipients.

Dr Catherine Toben
University of Adelaide , Discipline of Psychiatry.

Principal interests lie in the areas of flow structure, aeroacoustics and flow control, with application areas being aerospace engineering, wind engineering and sports aerodynamics.

I am a HDR student participating in an interdisciplinary research project with Dr Steven Wiederman (Visual Physiology and Neurobotics Laboratory), Prof. Benjamin Cazzolato and Dr Steven Grainger (School of Mechanical Engineering). A mechanical engineer by training, I am currently seeking to use physiological insights into how insects, and particularly dragonflies, see the world and track targets to develop novel visual detection and tracking algorithms.
