The Rail Manufacturing CRC is supporting the rail industry to develop new products, technologies and supply chain networks to increase Australian rail manufacturing’s competitiveness, capacity and productivity.

I'm interested in helping PhD students and ECRs (but also established researchers) make the most of their PhD and their career in general. I help people understand the skills and experiences they have and how they might translate into other sectors or roles.

I work with PhD students, ECRs, Graduate Schools, Research Directors to help students complete their PhD in a timely manner. I work with ECRs and Research Offices to help academic write better grants.

I have a dream that PhDs will be seen like MBAs - a general qualification that improves your employability, rather than the vocational qualification it is currently viewed as. I also have a dream that the line between academia and industry will be blurred such that a career that see people move between each sector every 5-10 years is common rather than impossible.

If you support PhD students (e.g. through a stipend or scholarship), you might want to chat with me about supporting the people you fund to complete their PhD (faster).
