報告人簡介:

Professor Elizabeth Watkin, Associate Dean (Science and Maths) of the School of Science
Elizabeth Watkin has over 20 years of experience in the field of microbial ecology of environmental systems and covers the fields of mining biotechnology, mineral resource recovery and microbial fouling of water (particularly within mining systems). She has industry contacts with a number of mining companies and has a long-term collaboration with CSIRO-Land and Water and CSIRO-Mineral Resources.
Her research team investigates biotechnological processes for environmental and industrial applications and approaches to mitigate microbially caused problems such as biocorrosion, biofouling and bioclogging. Prior to 2005 her main area of research was symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria in both agricultural and native legume species. She maintains a minor research interest in this area.
