AFRAN AUSTRALIAN LOCAL HUBS - BIOGRAPHIES
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.
JEAN-PHILIPPE RAL
ACT
I'm a Senior Research scientist and Team Leader in the Cereal Quality group at CSIRO Agriculture and Food. I received a PhD from the University of Science and Technologies of Lille in genetic and regulation of starch biosynthesis. I joined the CSIRO in 2005 to work on developing new food products to improve health and nutrition. Lately, my research has expanded to investigate impact of cereal starch degradation on flour quality and energy partitioning between starch, non-starch polysaccharide and oil.
