Max Kelly

FAA

Max Kelly
Image Description
Professor Kelly is unique among Australian mathematicians in that his international reputation rests on work in a thoroughly modern, non-classical, branch of mathematics. Indeed, category theory is barely ten years old, yet in the span of a few years it has seen a remarkable development into an all-embracing mathematical discipline, pervading almost all fundamental structures of mathematics. Professor Kelly has played a leading role in this development along with the creators of the theory, S. Eilenberg and Saunders McLane. He has a powerful mathematical personality, sharp-witted and formidable in debate; he is very active at present and his influence on the young generation of Australian mathematicians is considerable.

Kate Jolliffe

FAA

Kate Jolliffe
Image Description
Kate Jolliffe is a leader in the fields of supramolecular and organic chemistry and has made world-leading contributions to organic synthesis, anion recognition and molecular self-assembly. Her international reputation is a result of her expertise in the design and synthesis of complex molecular architectures, which she uses to generate new molecular structures. Jolliffe’s transformative achievements include the development of selective receptors for pyrophosphate and sulfate ions; and the development of new methods that enable the synthesis of macrocyclic peptides. She has been awarded the Beckwith, Biota, Birch and H.G. Smith medals of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute.

Dr

Jake Jacobsen

FAA

Jake Jacobsen
Image Description
Dr Jacobsen is internationally renowned for his contributions to plant science in the field of hormonal action in plant cells. In his analysis of the a-amylase gene in barley aleurone cells, he showed that gibberellin action involved new protein and mRNA synthesis. At the gene level, he identified elements in the a-amylase promoter which mediate gibberellin control. He identified a transcription factor, GAMYB, which binds to the a-amylase promoter to control transcription. This protein/DNA interaction is a major component of the gibberellin signal transduction pathway. Jacobsen has applied this knowledge to genetically engineer barley to improve malting quality.

Rob Hyndman

FAA FASSA

Rob Hyndman
Image Description
Rob Hyndman is one of the world’s most recognised applied statisticians, and is internationally acknowledged for his research in time series forecasting. Time series data are endemic in many fields of science and business but forecasting is notoriously challenging. Hyndman co-developed fundamental state space theory for these data that underpin the most widely used time series methods in the field. His methods for automatic forecasting, forecast reconciliation, functional time series, feature-based analysis and computational time series, have had an enormous influence on the field. His textbooks and software have transformed the capability of many organisations to make accurate predictions.

Professor Angas Hurst, mathematical physicist

Professor Angas Hurst interviewed by Professor Bob Crompton in 2010. Charles Angas Hurst was born in Adelaide in 1923. Hurst attended the Scotch College, Melbourne where he graduated dux in 1940. Hurst then enrolled at the University of Melbourne but his studies were interrupted by war.

Bob Hunter

AM FAA

Bob Hunter
Image Description
Associate Professor R. J. Hunter is distinguished for his scholarship and scientific leadership in Australian and international colloid and surface science. His research has been in four central areas of the science of aqueous interfaces: the electrical double layer at solid-aqueous interfaces, the properties of aqueous electrolyte solutions, the transport behaviour of colloids and the rheology of model and technologically important colloidal dispersions. His leadership is attested by his 1981 monograph on "The Zeta potential in colloid science" and by his textbook "Foundations of colloid science": Both texts display his unique grasp of pure and applied surface science.

Terry Hughes
Image Description
Professor Hughes has made outstanding contributions to marine biology and coral reef ecology. He studies demography and life histories and has defined new ways of modelling population dynamics. His models have been applied in both terrestrial and marine systems, have been cited extensively and now appear in many textbooks. His quantitative analysis of community dynamics includes the first detailed account of the mechanisms underlying long-term degradation of coral reefs. Recent research on large-scale processes, including gene flow in marine organisms and regional variation in the dynamics of the Great Barrier Reef, published in Science and Nature, has been of enormous significance internationally.

Tim Hughes

Tim Hughes
Image Description
Timothy Hughes has made key contributions towards the development and refinement of kinase inhibitor therapy for cancer, through his pioneering work in chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). He was a leader on many of the key clinical trials that underpinned the transformation of CML from a fatal disease to a treatable chronic disease. Hughes demonstrated and championed the key role of molecular monitoring to optimise response in CML. He pioneered the concept of treatment-free remission as a pathway to cure in CML. This has heralded an exciting new era in cancer therapy where molecularly-defined targets are identified and specifically inhibited.

Phil Hugenholtz

FAA FAHMS

Phil Hugenholtz
Image Description
Philip Hugenholtz is a microbiologist who has made landmark contributions in the field of culture-independent analysis of micro-organisms. He discovered and characterised numerous previously unrecognised major bacterial and archaea lineages each with greater evolutionary divergence than animals and plants combined. He has been instrumental in the development and application of metagenomics, the genome-based characterisation of microbiomes, which has revolutionised our understanding of microbial ecology and evolution. His contributions have raised awareness of the human microbiome and its role in health and disease.
