Chief Operating Officer Richard Harvey

University of Adelaide
 
Dr Richard Harvey is the Centre’s Chief Operating Officer, and former postdoctoral research fellow in molecular biology. He researched molecular microbiology and host-pathogen interactions as a student and postdoc at the University of Adelaide. Following his postdoc, Richard made a foray into politics as a Member of the South Australian Parliament, but recently returned to the University of Adelaide as program manager for a large research centre within the Australian Institute for Machine Learning prior to joining Plants for Space. 

Richard’s extensive experience in working in research environments as well as leadership roles, stakeholder engagement and communications will be of great value to P4S to ensure great collaborative work across different disciplines, and to solve previously intractable problems.
