Studying Marine Science Affiliated Curtin Appointed 2018
I am incredibly grateful and excited to be awarded as a Forrest Research Fellow. The Forrest Fellowship creates a unique opportunity for me to pursue my dream, which is to make significant contributions in addressing some of the most pressing challenges involving our ocean and to make a difference to the world. It also provides me a way to actively engage in science outreach, broaden my global scientific network, and grow my mentoring skills.
Chong’s research will investigate the effects of underwater noise on marine animals, including fishes, dolphins and whales, and involved international collaboration with universities in the USA and China.
The research aims to develop fast, reliable, objective and non-invasive methods to determine what animals hear and how noise impacts on them.
