Curtin University has appointed Professor Jeremy Kilburn as the Pro Vice-Chancellor of the Faculty of Science and Engineering, following the retirement of Professor Andris Stelbovics.<\/p>\n
Professor Kilburn is currently Professor of Chemistry at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, where he has also served as Senior Vice-Principal.<\/p>\n
Curtin University Vice-Chancellor Professor Deborah Terry said she was delighted with the result of the University\u2019s global search for the Pro Vice-Chancellor of the Faculty of Science and Engineering.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the last 20 years, Professor Kilburn has established an international reputation both as a respected chemistry researcher and in leading the expansion of important industry and global partnerships,\u201d Professor Terry said.<\/p>\n
\u201cProfessor Kilburn\u2019s experience, expertise and strategic leadership aligns with Curtin University\u2019s key priorities, including expanding our global footprint. I am pleased to welcome him as an outstanding new leader for the Faculty of Science and Engineering.\u201d<\/p>\n
Professor Kilburn\u2019s achievements at the University of Aberdeen included providing executive leadership on trans-national education, including the Aberdeen-Curtin alliance that was announced in early 2017.<\/p>\n
Previously, Professor Kilburn held senior leadership roles in Science and Engineering at Queen Mary University of London and the University of Southampton.<\/p>\n
Professor Kilburn said he was honoured to be appointed by Curtin to lead a faculty that is a major contributor to many science and engineering-related industries in Australia and internationally.<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtin University is perfectly placed as one of Australia\u2019s leading universities in science and engineering, with a focus on research that makes a real-world difference,\u201d Professor Kilburn said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am looking forward to ensuring the Faculty of Science and Engineering continues to deliver high-impact research and contributing to the strategic direction of the University.\u201d<\/p>\n
Professor Kilburn will take over the leadership role from Professor Andris Stelbovics, who retires from Curtin on 31 July.<\/p>\n
Professor Stelbovics was recently awarded the title of John Curtin Distinguished Professor and will receive the title of John Curtin Distinguished Emeritus Professor on his retirement.<\/p>\n
Professor Terry congratulated Professor Stelbovics on a wonderful career and thanked him for the significant contribution he made during his distinguished service at Curtin.<\/p>\n
\u201cProfessor Stelbovics holds an esteemed national and international reputation in the field of physics,\u201d Professor Terry said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has been instrumental in strengthening Curtin\u2019s research performance on the world stage and helping shape Curtin as a leading global university, and I take this opportunity to thank him for his committed service to the University.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
