Ute Roessner
Image Description
Ute Roessner is a world leader in the development and application of metabolomics and lipidomics in plant science and biotechnology. Her pioneering work established frontier technologies for parallel analyses of hundreds of metabolites in plants, enabling comprehensive investigation into how plants function under environmental and genetic stimuli. Roessner’s research uncovered mechanisms that describe how plants respond to a variety of abiotic stresses, providing avenues for the development of more stress-resilient crops. Roessner also investigated communication and interaction mechanisms between roots and beneficial microbes to improve nutrient and water uptake to enhance plant performance.

Sarah Medland

OAM FAA FASSA FAHMS

Sarah Medland
Image Description
Sarah Medland is a psychiatric and statistical geneticist working on neuroimaging genetics and mental health. She was instrumental in the formation of the ENIGMA brain imaging consortium, and chairs the genetic working group within this consortium. Medland’s work has significantly advanced our understanding of the ways that genetics influences the structure and function of the human brain. She discovered that there are many genetic variants of small effect size that affect the morphology of the brain and that many of these variants also influence risk for developing psychiatric and neurological disorders.

Professor

Stuart Bunn

FAA

Stuart Bunn
Image Description
Stuart Bunn is internationally recognised for his research on the structure and function of freshwater ecosystems. His work challenges established wisdom about aquatic food webs, establishing a new understanding that emphasises the key role of high-quality algae as a basal resource, and the connectivity of energy and nutrient flows across rivers, floodplains and estuaries, along with terrestrial inputs. Bunn has played key roles in building Australia’s national research capacity in freshwater ecology, forging international connections and visibility, and translating his deep knowledge of ecosystem function to guide management of flow regimes of freshwater systems in Australia and internationally.

Craig Simmons
Image Description
Craig Simmons’ work on variable-density flow phenomena is internationally recognised as revolutionising understanding of groundwater and groundwater processes. He drove development of new mathematical models capable of greater insight and accuracy by addressing the limitations of classical fluid mechanics in groundwater geoscience. Simmons made the first direct observation of gravitational instabilities in a natural groundwater setting, confirming his theoretical predictions about the nature, complexity, and significance of unstable groundwater phenomena. His science underpins a new knowledge framework, establishing a new modelling paradigm to inform environmental management and policy issues as diverse as food and water security, coal seam gas, fracking, nuclear waste disposal, mining and energy.

Image Description
Huijun Zhao has made significant contributions to the development of electrocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis and thermocatalysis principles, and nanostructured catalysts for important reactions of solar energy conversion, batteries, fuel cells, hydrogen generation, nitrogen-fixation, biomass-derived platform compounds upgrading, environmental remediation, bactericidal and sensing applications. He has discovered a suite of photoelectrocatalysis-based sensing principles, and successfully transformed these discoveries into commercial instruments that have brought a paradigm shift for aquatic organic pollutants monitoring/assessment practice. Zhao has also established an array of catalyst activation principles to unlock the catalytic powers of nonprecious materials that address the shortfalls of catalysts for important catalysis reactions.
