Monash Warwick Alliance Associates
The Alliance is building a stronger community of collaboration and achievement. Our new Alliance Associates initiative, part of our 2024-2027 strategy, recognises and empowers staff and students who are actively involved in the Alliance, including those who have received MWA funding for their project or are part of our joint PhD programme. Alliance Associates will be critical ambassadors promoting awareness, fostering engagement with MWA opportunities, and joining a thriving network of MWA champions.
Meet some of our Associates
Dr Thaatchaayini Kananatu
Senior Lecturer, Malaysia School of Arts and Social Sciences, Monash University Malaysia
Professor Helen Nesadurai

Professor Shrin Rai
My collaboration with Monash was based on links between Warwick Interdisciplinary Research Centre for International Development and Gender, Peace and Security Centre at Monash. Through the Alliance we were able to fund original and important work.
Veronique Campion
I completed a double Masters of Arts (MA) in Journalism, Politics and International Studies (specialising in International Security) through the Alliance. My dissertation investigated the influence of the media in the securitisation of drugs and addiction.
Professor Ulrik Egede
The particle physics group at Warwick is a relatively new group in the field in the same way as at Monash. Working together give us opportunities to achieve the breadth within the filed that otherwise can take decades to achieve.
Professor Rob Raven
The Monash Warwick Alliance allowed us to deepen our connections with the Global Sustainable Development Institute at Warwick University and explore a collaborative agenda on sustainable development of informal settlements.
Dr Emily Pilkington
I designed my research to have a six month 'rotation' between Australia and the UK over two years, so I could take advantage of the resources and facilities between the labs and, more importantly, gain a guaranteed two years of summer.
Dr Letizia Gramaglia
Professor Allie Clemans, Monash University, and I collaborated to enable Monash to gain institutional accreditation with Advance HE and develop programmes leading to HEA Fellowship modelled on the Warwick pathways for professional recognition.
Inca Hide-Wright
My name is Inca, and I am now in my final year of studying psychology at the University of Warwick. I became involved with the Alliance through TeaMWork. I was one of the first students to respond and give feedback on the TeaMWork Internship.
Professor Sascha Becker
After working for 9 years at Warwick, I was approached by Monash to join their Economics Department. The Alliance offered the opportunity to have a joint appointment, in my case the larger share being at Monash while keeping a part-time appointment at Warwick.
Professor Helen Skouteris
As a MWA Joint Professor since 2017, my motivation to work with the Alliance has been on addressing the compelling problems affecting the quality of healthcare systems internationally and the challenges of health care improvement.
Dr Frederik Dahlmann
Speaking to another researcher at an international academic conference, we realised that we both shared a variety of research interests. We also remembered that our respective universities had formed a strategic alliance.
Ivan Yotzov
The Monash-Warwick Alliance provided a perfect way to organise the Applied Young Economist Webinar (AYEW) series in April 2020. We were aiming to create a platform where young researchers (PhD and Post-Doctoral students) from across the world could present their work and receive feedback.
Dr Jason Ong
When I was a post-doc in the United Kingdom, I attended a workshop where Professor Ivo Vlaev from the University of Warwick was a speaker. I was fascinated by the applications of behavioural economics he discussed.
Dr Minni Singal
I met Associate Professor Fred Dahlmann from Warwick Business School at an Academy of Management Conference in 2018. We were both aware of the Monash Warwick Alliance funding and decided it was a great opportunity to collaborate on some new and interesting research.
Associate Professor Basia Diug
I was very keen to get involved with Monash Warwick Alliance after meeting a visiting fellow Associate Prof Debbi Marais. After a few meetings we realised that we shared a common approach to our work.
Associate Professor Wendy Stubbs
I met Associate Professor Fred Dahlmann from Warwick Business School at an Academy of Management Conference in 2018. We were both aware of the Monash Warwick Alliance funding and decided it was a great opportunity to collaborate on some new and interesting research.
Emma Barker
I joined IATL as the Managing Editor for Reinvention: An International Journal of Undergraduate Research just as it became a joint project with Monash University as part of the Monash-Warwick Alliance, so I have been working with the Alliance since my very first day at Warwick.
Dr Sue Kleve
A joint research and education project undertaken with Dr Martine Barons (Warwick) was supported by MWA grants and progressed our research agenda and developed a food security education series that is used in our under-and postgraduate programs at Monash and Warwick.
Dr Debbie Marais
I wanted to broaden my network, especially internationally as I had recently started at Warwick. I had made a major move from South Africa a few years before that to Scotland, and then again to England. It was wonderful to hear that Warwick already had an Alliance which made this networking so much easier.
Sean Mulcahy
The opportunity to work in two universities, in two different continents, in two different faculties, is unlike any other program. Beyond the career opportunities it offers the building of linkages across two countries.
Professor Chris Thompson
My first interactions with Warwick were through the IATL group. The opportunity to not only work with chemists at each end, but collaborate with performance and theatre academics on the same project was completely unique.
Yi Ting Loo
I am an MSc student at MathSys II CDT and my main research interests are mathematical and computational biology and biophysical modelling.I was one of the University of Warwick Student Directors for ICUR 2021.
Sonali Patel
As an undergraduate in Civil Engineering at Warwick, after hearing about the MWA AISP programme, I knew it would be a great way to learn something different while meeting new people from both Warwick and Monash.
Dr Nadine Normand-Marconnet
In 2015, as an early career researcher, I was delighted to be approached by the Monash Warwick Alliance to co-lead the Intercultural 3-Stage Training project.
Joe Cope
When the opportunity to study with Monash virtually through the AISP programme came about, I jumped at the chance. The modules also sounded really interesting to be a part of
Dr Irwyn Shepherd
The initial Monash Warwick Alliance activity to which I was invited to be part of, involved the development of a Taxonomy for Extended Reality in Engineering. As Project Lead here at Monash. I encouraged Engineering faculty members at Clayton and in Malaysia to collaborate while my counterparts at Warwick.
