ELT2 – PROF. SIR EDOUARD LIM FAT ENGINEERING TOWER
Prof. Shaun Collin is a Winthrop Professor at The University of Western
Australia and a Western Australia Premier’s Research Fellow. He is a world
leader in comparative neurobiology and vision.
Western Australia has an exceptionally rich biodiversity. Its management is
dependent on a sound understanding of the diverse fauna and how it is
affected by coastal development, farming, recreation, and climate change. Prof.
Collin has introduced a series of innovative technologies combined with both
basic and applied research to trace the evolution of light detection and image
formation and to explore the impacts of light on biodiversity, sustainability of
animals native to Western Australia, and (animal and human) health.
