Research Funding: Grants and Fellowships
Research Grants and Fellowships
I have been fortunate to have had outstanding success in securing national competitive grants. Since 2001, I have been a Chief Investigator (CI) on grant funding in excess of $20 million. I was a Theme Leader and CI in the Asutralian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for Mathematics and Statistics of Complex Systems for over a decade. Notably, I was one of the first researchers to gain three successive ARC personal fellowships.
