MARIE-CLAUDE GRÉGOIRE

NSW

Dr Marie-Claude Gregoire has moved to Australia in 2005 to establish and lead the in-vivo molecular imaging platform at ANSTO. There, she established and led the LifeSciences division  between  2011  and  2016.  Her  main  research  interests are  in  functional  exploration  of  biological  pathways  with complementary nuclear techniques and multi-modality imaging such  as in  vivo PET,  SPECT,  CT,  MRI and  post  mortem imaging.

OLIVIER SALVADO

QLD

Olivier Salvado is the Head of Imaging and Computer Vision  at  CSIRO  Data61  with  capability  in  3D  computer vision,  efficient  implementation  of  computer  vision methods,  hyperspectral  Imaging,  as  well  as  quantitative  imaging,  covering  multiple  domains  (precision agriculture,  medical  imaging...).  Dr Salvado has several adjunct positions with Australian universities, he is a regular assessor of scientific grants, a reviewer of international journals, and is regularly involved in reviewing and organising international conferences.

BEATA UJVARI

VIC

Dr.  Beata  Ujvari,  is  a  Senior  Lecturer  in  Bioinformatics  and Genetics at the School of Life and Environmental Sciences at Deakin University, Australia. As an evolutionary ecologist, her research  focuses  on  the  interaction  between  organisms  and their  environment  and  these  effects  on  organismal  fitness. She  has  established  and  chaired  the  Comparative  Oncology Special Interest Group, Cancer Research Network at the Uni- versity of Sydney (2012- 2014). She sits on the advisory board of the International Society for Evolution, Ecology and Cancer.

MAXIME FRANÇOIS

SA

Maxime François is a Future Science Platform Postdoctoral  Fellow  at  CSIRO  Health  &  Biosecurity.   His  current research  aims  at  developing  biomarkers  of  genomic ageing and health in saliva. Maxime is an expert user of a panel of imaging equipment such as laser scanning cytometer, Metasystem Metafer, Nikon A1 confocal microscope and 3D Imaris imaging software.

EMILIE DOTTE

WA

​I am an archaeologist specialised in the Pacific islands, currently working as a postdoctoral research fellow with The Australian National University. My research focuses on two main issues: the historiography of archaeology and the study of past human-environment dynamics. I have been working between France and Australia, in both anglophone and francophone Pacific Islands for more than 15 years, hence my interest in French-Australian collaborations for research in the Pacific.

MATHIEU MONGIN

TAS

Mathieu  Mongin’s  research  is  focused  on  BioGeochemical  Cycles  (BGC)  and  marine  ecosystems  in  the ocean. He aims to develop original and innovative re- search  to  understand  biogeochemical  biological  and physical  interactions,  particularly  those  which  affect marine costal environment, including their productivity, carbon export and the response of these processes to  external  perturbation,  climate  variability  climate change, ocean acidification.
