Charles Sturt University, Australia, has appointed Indian-origin professor Neena Mitter as deputy vice-chancellor associate for global research.
An internationally renowned scientist and the current director of the Centre for Horticultural Science at the University of Queensland, Mitter's new role will focus on providing strategic leadership in the development of international research partnerships, commercializing research outcomes, and enhancing the university's global research performance.
Her appointment comes as Charles Sturt University increases its investments in research areas such as rural health, food and water security, and regional well-being, a release noted.
In her previous positions, Mitter made groundbreaking contributions to sustainable agriculture, including her work with BioClay, an innovative technology used to combat whitefly, a pest responsible for substantial agricultural losses globally. The BioClay project, developed through international collaboration with India, has been hailed as a game-changer for crop protection.
Mitter is also the director of the Australian Research Council’s Industrial Transformational Research HUB for Sustainable Crop Protection. She has earned numerous accolades for her leadership in research and innovation, holding prestigious fellowships, patents, and awards throughout her career.
As deputy vice-chancellor associate, Mitter will work closely with Charles Sturt’s leadership to strengthen the university’s global research presence, fostering partnerships and driving initiatives to solve pressing global issues, particularly in agriculture and sustainability.
Mitter holds a bachelors degree in Botany from Delhi University, India, and a PhD from Indian Agricultural Research Institute.
