About me

I am the Business Manager of the ARC Training Centre for Battery Recycling, a five-year Australian Research Council Industrial Transformation Training Centre that commenced in December 2024. The Centre brings together universities and industry partners to develop innovative battery recycling technologies, recover critical materials, and support Australia’s transition to a circular economy. 

The Centre’s research spans the battery lifecycle, from battery design and second-life applications to advanced recycling and materials recovery. It is supported by Adelaide University, UNSW, the University of Wollongong, and industry partners including Iondrive, ANSTO, Gravitas, PCI Green, Pure Power and Benan Energy. 

As Business Manager, I oversee the Centre’s operations, governance, financial management, communications, reporting and stakeholder engagement.
