Meet some of the brightest stars!
The Southern Cross, a constellation of much national significance is made up of the brightest stars in the southern hemisphere. Much like our Highly Cited Researchers who are the brightest stars in our research community. The Web of Science, powered by Clarivate Analytics, are "The Pointers" to our brightest stars, the Highly Cited Researchers for 2018!
Each month we will feature and profile a Highly Cited Researcher in our monthly newsletter
The Research Post. Be sure to subscribe to the newsletter here so you don't miss out on getting to know each of our profiled Highly Cited Researchers.
Professor Edward Holmes' research aims to provide fundamental insights into the breadth and biodiversity of the viral world and reveal the major mechanisms of virus evolution to more accurately assess the types of virus that are most likely to emerge in human populations.
Professor Paresh Naravan's research aims to provide academics, policy makers and industry with economic models for forecasting, policy making and informed decision making purposes. His research is focused on financial econometrics and applied finance.
Professor Harvey Millar's research aims to provide fundamental insights into mitochondrial biogenesis and function, the mitochondrial proteome and genome, and mitochondrial transport. His research is focused on the long-term goal of improving the energy efficiency of plants through modification of their metabolism, protein turnover and respiration.
Professor Jane Elith specialises in ecological models that focus on spatial analysis and prediction of the habitat of plant and animal species. She has made outstanding contributions to species distribution modelling.
Professor Shaobin Wang is one of the world's leading researchers in applied catalysis. He has made significant contributions to cleaner energy and a greener environment.
Professor Richard Ryan is one of the leading theorists of human motivation and well-being. He is the co-developer of Self-Determination Theory (SDT), spawning basic research on intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and the facilitation and undermining of volitional motivation.
Professor Zenobia Jacobs is a ground breaking researcher into individual grains of sand as reliable time capsules for optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating of geological and archaeological sediments.
Ranking in the top 1% by citations for field and publication year in Web of Science, Highly Cited Researchers are leading the way in solving the world’s biggest challenges.
