Honorary and Adjunct Appointments
Honorary adjunct appointments benefit the University by increasing cooperation and activities between the University and leaders and members of academia, professions, business, industry, community, and the public sector, within Australia and overseas.
We value the contribution that recognised academic experts are able to provide to the Institute's research and research training programs.
Professor Emeritus Jann Conroy continues to make a valuable contribution to the Institute. Her research has focused on understanding how climate change will influence the trade-off between growth and water use of fast- and slow- growing eucalypts.

He has worked in plant ecology and conservation management for over 20 years, with employment at all levels of government and as a consultant. He has specialised in rare and threatened plant species, populations and ecological communities, and has successfully nominated many additions or amendments to the status of threatened biota under NSW and Commonwealth laws.
Dr Paul Milham is an Adjunct Fellow with the Institute and School of Science and Health. Paul uses strong research skills in chemistry to investigate key soil processes that underpin interactions between soil, plants, and the environment.
