Our research
tradition
Even before we became the global university we are today, our
researchers looked beyond traditional boundaries, creating new
frontiers and discovering new ways of approaching the fields in
which they worked. Its why a Monash education is respected
around the world. Things that we now take for granted would
not exist without the initial work of Monash researchers:
First in-vitro fertilisation pregnancy

Professors Alan Trounson and Carl Wood achieved the worlds first IVF
pregnancy in 1973. The Trounson and Wood team went on to achieve
Australias first (and the worlds fourth) successful IVF birth in 1980.

Professor Xinhua Wu and her team at the Monash Centre for Additive

make aircraft 30 to 40 per cent lighter, twice as fuel efficient and still
structurally sound. So significant is this project that they are working
in close partnership with Microturbo, the European Space Agency
and Bombardier.

Super sand
Monash has teamed up with Rice University (USA) to create a
supersand which acts as an inexpensive filtration device in
third-world countries. They have significantly enhanced the natural
filtering properties of sand by coating it with a nanomaterial called
graphite oxide (GO). Lack of clean drinking water is the cause of
over2.5milliondeaths per year according to the WHO.
Eliminating disease
The Eliminate Dengue Program, led by Monash Universitys Professor
Scott ONeill, uses a naturally occurring bacteria (Wolbachia) to
reducethe ability of mosquitoes to pass dengue between people.
Dengue fever affects an estimated 390 million people worldwide
annually and is ranked by the World Health Organisation (WHO)
asthemost important mosquito-borne viral disease in the world.

Alex Martinis Roe

Bachelor of Fine Art
Doctor of Philosophy
An international perspective and a strong focus
on art theory and research have driven Alex
Martinis Roes success since she completed
her Doctor of Philosophy at Monash University
with the Silver Jubilee Scholarship in 2010. Alex
was further awarded a 2013 Anne and Gordon
Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarship,
enabling her to undertake post-doctoral
research overseas.
Alex first came to Monash as a Bachelor of
Fine Art student, where she began to create
intellectually engaging works that demanded
careful consideration and often engagement
from her audience.
The work I made for my solo exhibition in
Dublin in 2011 was a real turning point for me.
I managed, for the first time, to bring other
peoples voices into an exhibition of mine,
in a way that I felt I was happy with, in terms
of its politics.
Through solo exhibitions in Europe, Korea and
Australia, Alex is now making a name for herself
in international contemporary art. Her current
projects focus on feminist genealogies and
seek to foster specific and productive relations
between different generations, as a way of
participating in the construction of feminist
histories and futures.
Motivated by an intense interest in the quality
and affect of relations between people and texts,
I work as an artist in order to practice a politics
of sexual difference, Alex said.

and environments. They consider the behaviour of people and
the context in which users interact with technology. Drawing on
concepts from industrial design, engineering, computer science
and psychology, interaction designers integrate technology into
our daily lives. The Master of Interaction Design includes tangible
interaction design, which explores the physical characteristics of
a product, as well as the application of innovative technology in design.

This practice-based research degree involves you in the independent
investigation of a research problem that you have formulated. It is
expected that the research undertaken will make a contribution to the
discipline in which you are enrolled by applying, clarifying, critiquing or
interpreting that knowledge. The studio research project develops a
body of creative or visual works with accompanying written (exegesis)
and visual documentation. The written documentation is a commentary
that outlines the development of the project and its conclusion, and
provides a critical context within which the work may be viewed and
assessed. The original visual works produced and the exegetical text are
examined as one for Master of Fine Art candidates. Students must also
complete a sequence of two coursework units, which will guide them
through the documentary dimensions of their project.

My PhD taught me a lot

about what it means to work
in a manner that is mindful
of confidentiality, tactful
and appreciative of different
perspectives. Even the process
of ethics clearance teaches
you about responsibility and
sensitivity in the face of difficult
circumstances. The skills learnt
through a PhD are definitely
transferrable to the workplace.

Health care management encompasses a broad field of practice that is

continuing to grow in tandem with the growth of the health care industry
and the challenges it faces in terms of financial sustainability, increasing
complexity, and greater consumer expectations, including accountability
for safety and quality.
As a result, management roles in health care are also expanding from
the traditional senior and mid-level administrative roles to clinicians
taking on increasing management tasks. The current Master of Health
Services Management, located within the Department of Epidemiology
and Preventive Medicine, primarily focuses on this latter market and
in particular the needs of clinicians in the domestic market who seek
background knowledge to assist them to take on these roles. This
new Masters of Health Administration will primarily target the general
health care administration market and have an international focus. While
developed from the existing Master of Health Service Management, this
course will strengthen the general management component through
partnership with the Faculty of Business and Economics who will deliver
one-third of the units.

Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of

Biomedical Science, Current PhD in Science.
I loved the Biomedical science units and I did
some summer vacation work in biochemistry,
and that helped me make a decision that
I wanted to do research. My ultimate goal
is to combine research and teaching.
My research is in the Eliminate Dengue lab.
The research that we do is injecting Wolbachia
bacteria into mosquitoes to block Dengue
virus transmission, and my research is thinking
about what kind of genes are regulated when
mosquitoes have Dengue virus. Im also working
in the insectary raising mosquitoes for my
experiments, which involves making sure I have
the human volunteers to feed my mosquitoes.
