POSTED: 15 Dec, 2023
We are sad to farewell two of our researchers this month:
* Dr Mickey Clemon from University of Technology Sydney and co-lead of the Quality Assurance & Compliance program. Mickey has been actively involved in our Centre from the beginning, including the initial proposal
Mickey is returning to the US at the end of the year and Dr. Nathalie Sick will become co-lead of the Quality Assurance and Compliance program alongside Dr Michelle Dunn from Swinburne University of Technology.
* Dr Sean Gallagher, Chief Investigator from Swinburne University of Technology working with the Human Robot Workforce program. Sean has been a huge supporter of the Centre’s research.
Luckily for us, both will remain on as Associate Investigators. Wishing you both the best of luck with your new ventures. Thanks for being a part of the team.
