Profiles

Associate Professor Jeremy Austin

"I'm incredibly glad of the opportunities that my time at UTAS gave me – a trip to Antarctica for my Honours project, two trips to the UK during my PhD, and a whole pile of confidence, so that with hard work and a bit of luck, I could do almost anything!"

Saxon Hornett

"Music is about people, making connections, and genuinely listening to others’ ideas and artistic views. Engaging with others enables further personal creativity."

Matilda Brown

"UTAS, and Biological Sciences in particular, has such a wonderful community that new friends and colleagues can’t replace."

Catherine Matterson

"Americans Love Australians but they seem particularly intrigued by Tasmania and love meeting Tasmanians, as we are a bit of a rarity, especially in Silicon Valley."

Danielle Conlan

"Do it today. Ask that question, launch that idea, leave that environment, and become the best version you can be. Life is not easy, and it appears it’s about to get harder. But, there is beauty to be found in every nook and cranny. We just have to summon the courage to look."

Theo Kapodistrias

"When I was deciding on a career I thought, what’s an avenue where I can combine so many of my interests? "

Her Excellency the Honourable Barbara Baker AC

"Look for mentors for advice and support, but always make and stand by your own judgement and decisions."

Dr Jaimie Cleeland

"The most rewarding part of my new role at the Australian Antarctic Division and the University of Tasmania is that I see the science I do having real-world impact."

Aziza Sahib

"I watched a lot of Scrubs (and always wanted to be Carla)! I always wanted to help people, and the fast-track degree certainly made that dream come true sooner."

Dr Calum Cunningham

"My hope is that our research will add to a growing body of knowledge that shows the many ways in which apex predators shape ecosystems."
