Our Researchers
Dr Andrew Cole
Centre for Macroalgal Resources and Biotechnology
+61 7 4781 5250
Dr Cole leads the Products from Oedogonium project, focusing on aquatic waste streams from diverse industries. It aims to provide a cost-effective nutrient bioremediation and a sustainable and commercially viable macroalgal biomass production.
Dr Jennifer Donelson
ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies
+61 7 4781 6291
Jennifer's interests are the ecology and early life history of marine fishes, and the potential for animals to cope with future climate change. Her research focuses on the ecological impacts of climate change to marine fishes and the potential adaptation.
Professor Dean Jerry
Promotional Chair; Professor of Aquaculture
+61 7 4781 5586
Jerry has worked with aquaculture species for over 15 years. His internationally recognised research group focuses on the development of genetic tools and knowledge to inform selective breeding programs for aquaculture species.
Professor Philip Munday
ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies
+61 7 4781 5341
Philip has broad interests in the ecology and evolution of reef fishes. His primary research focuses on understanding and predicting the impacts that climate change will have on populations and communities of marine fishes.
Dr Nicholas Neveux
Macroalgal Biofuels and Bioproducts research group
+ 61 7 4781 4778
Nick's work focuses on the production of marine and freshwater macroalgae in integrated land-based systems, particularly in the context of bioremediation of aquaculture effluents and municipal wastewater.
Professor Rocky de Nys
Leader, Centre for Macroalgal Resources and Biotechnology
+61 7 4781 4412
Rocky’s role focuses on the planning, organisational and management requirements for the successful delivery of multi-disciplinary research and its industry application to deliver innovative products.

Dr Tine Praeger
+61 7 4781 4835
Tine's research focuses on producing macroalgae to provide a reliable source of seedlings. A central theme of her work is the innovative, sustainable and tailored cultivation technologies of high-value filamentous green seaweeds.
A/Professor Chaoshu Zeng
Centre for Sustainable Tropical Fisheries and Aquaculture
+61 7 4781 6237
Chaoshu's research interests include development of culture techniques for commercially important crustaceans and marine ornamentals, ecophysiology and behaviour of crustacean larvae and juveniles and toxicology of effluent water.
