Another victory for Team QUT! In addition to my day job at the university, I was informed yesterday that I have been appointed as a member of the Australian Government’s “Expert Network.” My duties in this role include providing advice on an ad hoc basis about the energy industry and emerging innovations in that sector, with the overarching objective of accelerating the commercialization of promising new energy technologies. They promised me that this would be a minimal time commitment, so expect business-as-usual from your respective points of view.
