Welcome to the 2026 Faculty of Science Awards.
Each year, these awards give us an opportunity to recognise the remarkable people whose ideas, expertise and commitment shape our Faculty and extend its impact well beyond Monash.
Across our schools and teams, our community is advancing knowledge through outstanding research, creating exceptional learning experiences for our students, building more inclusive environments, and providing the professional expertise that enables our Faculty to succeed.
What stands out is not only the quality of these achievements, but the many different ways people contribute. Great science depends on curiosity and discovery, but also on collaboration, leadership, generosity and the willingness to turn ideas into action.
The achievements we celebrate this year reflect those qualities. They also remind us that our greatest strengths come from the people who make up our Faculty and the connections we build across disciplines, roles and communities.
Congratulations to all our 2026 winners, commendation recipients and nominees. Your work makes a real difference, and I am delighted that we have the opportunity to recognise and celebrate it.
