Originally trained in biochemistry, Tim pivoted away from the academic career path after an isolating research fellowship at the University College London but soon found his place in the world of commercial research at the nearby Thompson Scientific. Upon his return to Australia in 2009, Tim joined UNSW and helped the institution embrace a liberal IP management process that propelled the institution to a position of national leadership in industry research. Building off this expertise, Tim has since become a leading figure in the national policy debate for research translation and he serves on the boards of Knowledge Commercialisation Australia as well as the international Association of Technology Transfer Professionals. 

Tim Boyle is currently the Director of Innovation and Commercialisation at ANSTO, where he is helping to shape a new science and innovation precinct in South-West Sydney.

Building off this expertise, Tim has since become a leading figure in the national policy debate for research translation and he serves on the boards of Knowledge Commercialisation Australia as well as the international Association of Technology Transfer Professionals. 

Tim Boyle is currently the Director of Innovation and Commercialisation at ANSTO, where he is helping to shape a new science and innovation precinct in South-West Sydney.

First trained as a nurse in the 1980's, Patricia's learned the importance of patience, empathy and communication at the bedside. But a love of learning ultimately drew her away from the hospital and towards an academic career, working across a slew of Australian universities including Newcastle, Curtin, Western Sydney and UTS. Throughout this period Patricia developed an outstanding research track record in cardiac health, chronic condition management and patient-centric care. It was this reputation that ultimately saw her elected as the Dean of Nursing for Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore (USA) where she was destined to help this storied institution confront one of the most dramatic and transformative public health challenges in living memory.

Patricia returned home to Australia in 2021 to take on a new challenge as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Wollongong. We hope you will enjoy this incredible perspective on personal growth and compassionate leadership.

But for the man himself, it has been about much more than the milestones.

Though born and raised in Melbourne, it was a seven year stint in the United Kingdom that proved to be a pivotal moment in Justin's life. Working at two of the world's most storied scientific institutions, the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge not only set the foundation for Justin's research career but it also introduced him to Katharina Gaus, a German-born researcher with whom his personal and professional life has been intertwined ever since. Since returning to Australia in 1997 Justin and Kat each built stellar research careers in their own right. Working together at the University of NSW they gained a reputation as a scientific power-couple, underpinning the university's growing reputation as a centre of materials science, biosensing and advanced microscopy. Over two decades, Justin earned three Eureka Prizes, a fellowship to the Australian Academy of Science, over 30,000 citations to his published works, and has seen aspects of his research translated into spinout companies including Inventia Life Science and AgaMatrix. 

But recently - Justin has had cause to think deeply about his life and love within the halls of science, and he joins us today to share a personal journey that is reshaping his perspective on his own scientific legacy.

At every turn Cordelia has been a stellar researcher, topping her class and becoming a published scientific author even before her PhD began. During a 14-year career at Monash University in Melbourne Cordelia became increasingly interested in food research, ultimately helping the Australian dairy industry adopt and improve the spray drying processes that underpin one of the fastest growing segments of Australia's food exports.

How can we keep volunteers engaged in organisations like the SES, Rural Fire Service and Surf Lifesaving? And what can be done about the declining rates of volunteerism that is threatening the future of these iconic Australian organisations?

Dr. Vivien Forner is a Hungarian-born Australian who has been pondering these questions deeply. Through a PhD spanning both psychology and business, Vivien helped to identify the importance of self-determination theory in volunteer organisations. Working through challenges including a change in academic discipline, multi-tasking parenthood, and picking up the pieces after an industry collaborator withdrew, Vivien's persistence and determination has culminated in the formation of a professional consultancy business that is turning her research findings into practical training packages for the next generation of Australian volunteers.  Meanwhile, Vivien has also became an expert at communicating her findings outside of academia, winning her way through to the 2019 Asia-Pacific finals of the three minute thesis competition, an annual event that challenges PhD students across the globe to summarise their complex work in three minutes or less.

But for all of the technology's promise, Farzaneh also felt frustrated by having to turn away patients that came to her group seeking practical solutions rather than abstract research. Since then, Farzaneh has dedicated much of her professional life to the challenge of adapting this technology to restore the voices of laryngectomy patients. In 2019 that dream came one step closer as Farzaneh became the founder and CEO of Laronix, a spinout company based on her research. So plug in to hear the very latest on Dr. Ahmadi's journey to the bionic voice.

]]> The ability to communicate is a fundamental human need, but it's one that does not come easily to those without a voice box. 

Dr Farzaneh Ahmadi is a scientist, engineer, inventor and entrepreneur who first came across the field of voice cloning while completing her PhD in Singapore. But for all of the technology's promise, Farzaneh also felt frustrated by having to turn away patients that came to her group seeking practical solutions rather than abstract research. Since then, Farzaneh has dedicated much of her professional life to the challenge of adapting this technology to restore the voices of laryngectomy patients. In 2019 that dream came one step closer as Farzaneh became the founder and CEO of Laronix, a spinout company based on her research.

After a PhD studying bacterial drug resistance Ian spent a decade in the USA, becoming part of a revolution in genetics research in the wake of the human genome project.

Now back in Australia, Ian is a distinguished professor at Macquarie University, a fellow of the Australian Academy of Science and now the inaugural director of the new ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology where he will be helping to create entirely new biological systems to solve critical problems in medicine, food security and the environment.  Plug in to hear about life at the leading edge of genetics research.

A diligent work ethic and a passion for soccer helped Gordon keep his head above the fray, and ultimately allowed him to make the most of a fresh start in Australia when his family fled the increasingly violent conflict in 1972. Since graduating with a doctoral degree in Electrochemistry from Deakin University, Gordon has spent most of his career at the leading edge of nanotechnology and polymer science. Initially focusing on the fundamental properties of conductive polymers, a chance encounter with Prof. Graham Clarke inspired a new branch of research in applied medicine and bionics that ultimately led Gordon to his current role as director for ACES, a research network covering applications as diverse as battery technology, solar cells, artificial muscles, tissue engineering and additive manufacturing. Gordon’s has been the recipient of two honorary doctorates, a Eureka Prize for Research Leadership, the NSW Scientist of the Year Award and an Order of Australia medal, and he has also overseen the formation of several spin-out companies stemming from ACES research.  GUEST : Professor Gordon Wallace  https://www.linkedin.com/in/gordon-wallace-35b26850/ ACES (ARC Centre of Excellence in Electromaterials Science) https://electromaterials.edu.au/ EON LABS  https://www.eonlabs.org/ https://eonjournal.com/ RENY DIGITAL https://renydigital.com/ HOST : Dr. Leo Stevens https://www.linkedin.com/in/leostevensinc/ MUSIC : Purple Planet Music https://www.purple-planet.com Mixed by Dr. Nat Harris

In many cases these technologies are now economically-competitive with coal, nuclear and other base-load power sources on a per-kilowatt basis, however  a key challenge remains in ensuring this renewable energy can provide reliable electricity 24/7. To complete our transition the electricity grid need a dramatic overhaul to incorporate distributed production, energy storage and demand-response solutions that ensure the system can cope with the increasing mismatch between power generation and consumer demand.  Today we are joined by Dr. Jon Knott - a research fellow specialising in energy storage at the Institute for Superconductive and Electronic Materials - to discuss the emerging energy storage options and how we can update our electricity grid for the 21st century.
