Acting Executive Dean and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) Professor Robyn Ward was thrilled for the researchers and said being named on the list is a clear sign that their research is cutting through.

“I extend a huge congratulations to the researchers listed this year, an honour that is testament to the quality of research being conducted across our Faculty,” Professor Ward said.

“The hi-cite list acknowledges the work of our researchers and is a sign of the impact their work is having in their chosen field.”
