The Griffith Business School has recognised five outstanding researchers as the winners of this year’s Pro Vice Chancellor’s Research Excellence Awards.
From the Griffith Asia Institute, Associate Professor Robin Roberts has been named as 2017’s most remarkable Individual Early Career Researcher for her work in the University’s Agribusiness stream, with recent ARC Discovery grant recipient Dr Lee Morgenbesser earning a high commendation in the category.
Associate Professor Roberts said she appreciates the award and recognition that comes with it, which adds to an existing research portfolio that currently spans eight different grants worth more than $2.5 million.
Among those pursuits are a four-pronged Mango Agribusiness R&D Program (which includes research into quality, information, biosecurity, and markets and trade) as well as a Vietnam mango study, Indonesia strawberry R&D project and a passionfruit R&D project.
