About Us
The Office of the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research Infrastructure) provides strategic leadership for Monash's research infrastructure. We work in partnership to enable the delivery of Monash’s research priorities by ensuring researchers have access to state-of-the-art research infrastructure that drives excellence and impact, positioning Monash to sustain its global leadership in a rapidly evolving research ecosystem.
What We Do
We enable Monash researchers, collaborators and partners to access the cutting-edge infrastructure and expertise needed to achieve research excellence. Our office:
- Leads strategy and policy for research infrastructure across the University.
- Ensures open access, quality and sustainability across Monash’s platform network.
- Supports workforce development, recognising the critical role of specialist staff.
- Builds partnerships with faculties, industry, government and precinct collaborators.
- Aligns investment to ensure Monash infrastructure remains fit-for-future and globally competitive.
Through this work, we provide the foundation for Monash to deliver high-quality research at scale — from fundamental discovery to translational outcomes that make a difference worldwide.
Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research Infrastructure)
The Office of the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research Infrastructure) is led by
Professor Jacek Jasieniak, who provides strategic leadership to ensure
Monash’s research infrastructure remains world-class, open access, and
future-focused.
With a distinguished career spanning nanomaterials and
next‑generation energy technologies, Professor Jacek Jasieniak assumed the
role of Pro Vice‑Chancellor (Research Infrastructure) in December 2021. He
holds a PhD (Chancellor’s Prize) from the University of Melbourne and
began his academic journey following postdoctoral fellowships at CSIRO and
a Fulbright Fellowship at UCSB.
At Monash, Professor Jasieniak has led
initiatives across nanomaterials, microlasers, printable solar cells,
batteries, and chemical sensors — often with applications toward
addressing the global net‑zero carbon emissions challenge. His work has
garnered widespread media attention, raising public awareness of
innovations ranging from smart‑phone batteries to solar‑integrated
buildings.
