Biography

After completing his Masters degree at Sydney University in 1987, Dr Adam Harris travelled to the United States to commence a PhD at Stony Brook University. On receiving his doctorate in 1993 he was awarded a G.C. Evans Instructorship at Rice University in Houston, where he gained invaluable teaching experience, before returning to Australia in 1996 to take up an Australian Research Council postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Adelaide. He then travelled overseas again in 1999, this time to Japan, supported by a research fellowship from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. The research collaborations and contacts he was enabled to form at that time have contributed one of the central ongoing themes of his research career. One further postdoctoral appointment at the University of Melbourne from 2000-2002 completed his experience of research and teaching prior to coming to UNE as a lecturer in 2002.
