Marine Biologist Dr Sarah Catalano wins research awards
The Environment Institute congratulates on winning numerous 2014 research awards.
In January 2014 Sarah was awarded the Dean's Commendation in Doctoral Thesis Excellence for her PhD project: Using mesozoan dicyemid paracites to infer the population structure of giant Australian cuttlefish, sepia apama, in southern Australian waters. Only candidates who have produced a thesis of excellent quality are eligible for this award, which was advocated by both of Sarah's thesis examiners.
Sarah's PhD was completed in 2014 with听, Associate Professor Ian Whittington and听听as her supervisors.
