Personal profile

Biography

I am the data microscopy specialist in the Centre for Microscopy, Characterisation and Analysis (CMCA) at the University of Western Australia (UWA). I am focussing on making the data our users collect easily accessible as well as streamlining the analysis methods. We are also focussing on creating systems which will help our users to make their data more FAIR as this is the push being made by funding bodies and publishers both within Australia and internationally.

I completed my PhD on scanning probe microscopy of gels at Curtin University in 2021 after a bachelor of science (nanotechnology) at the same institution. After finishing my PhD, I was lucky enough to be able to stay in Western Australia and come over to UWA in a postdoctoral position in Professor Paul Low's lab working on break junciton scanning probe microscopy of single molecules. I have now transitioned into a senior research officer position in CMCA looking at the best ways to transfer, store and use data in our facilities.
