Dr Sheldon Navie joins the IVMP Project - Tech Team
I am pleased to advise that Dr Sheldon Navie has joined the IVMP Project in a Research Support role and as a member of the Tech Team.
Dr Navie brings a significant amount of scientific knowledge to the project team, particularly in the fields of plant ecology, weed biology, and grass taxonomy and identification.
Prior to his current appointment at Grow Solutions, Dr Navie has been based at the School of Land, Crop and Food Sciences at the St.Lucia campus of the The University of Queensland, where he completed his PhD on the biology of parthenium weed. He has since undertaken various roles at the University in collaboration with numerous internal and external organisations. This has included teaching plant and weed identification to undergraduate students, the supervision of higher degree students researching the biology and management of weed species, and the development of interactive teaching tools for undergraduate students and the wider community.
The most significant outputs of his work to date are a range of interactive weed identification CD's and DVD's using the Lucid software system. These products, including Environmental Weeds of Australia and Declared Plants of Australia, were developed in conjunction with the Centre for Biological Information Technology (CBIT) and other organisations (e.g. the CRC for Australian Weed Management). In recent years, Sheldon's expertise has also been utilised by Biosecurity Queensland, Brisbane City Council and the Queensland Herbarium on short-term projects involving the profiling and risk asessment of weed species.
