The Interim Dean of the ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science, Professor Alistair Rendell, congratulated CECS academic staff on their successful grant wins today, saying that "staff from CECS are primary leads on 6 successful ARC grant applications and participants in 3 externally led grants." In October Dr David Nisbet won an NH&MRC grant for his research in bioengineering, and Dr Brad Yu won a Group of 8 Australia - Germany Joint Research Co-operation Scheme grant.
Congratulations to everyone.
