Meet Verity

Meet Verity

Engineering graduate Verity Williams is making her mark on Western Australian roads – working against the clock and in tough weather conditions are just one aspect of her role as a construction engineer.

“I want to encourage greater diversity in the industry. Engineering is an excellent choice for women interested in STEM with so many fascinating areas of growth and the opportunity to make a real difference to the community.”

Meet Muhammad

Dr Syaifullah Muhammad is a chemical engineering grad who has developed an innovative technology to extract high-quality patchouli oil from the patchouli plant, which he and his research team will use to transform patchouli production for the Aceh farming community. This could provide huge economic and social benefits for this Indonesian region which has been heavily impacted by civil conflict and natural disasters.

Niklas Mittmann

Head of Advancement, Science and Engineering

Niklas joined our team in 2021 and is building long-term partnerships with people who want to get involved in Curtin’s mission to make tomorrow better through science and engineering.

“I moved to WA as an international student in 2009 – with only two suitcases and a university enrolment. Twelve years later, I feel very fortunate to be part of a university that gave me the foundation for an incredible life journey and career since. It has been a great privilege to return and meet so many incredibly talented and passionate people in the Science and Engineering Faculty, all working on projects that I can’t wait to share with our supporters and partners. I am proud to be in a position that will allow me to gather support for the development of cutting-edge technologies, which will not only provide solutions to today’s challenges, but also help grow tomorrow’s leaders.”
