Aoife (pronounced ‘Ee-fah’) is the Director of the Translation and Impact Program at the Curtin University node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR).

A recovered corporate and finance lawyer, Aoife has worked at Curtin University since 2016, advising on the establishment and management of research collaborations, strategic alliances and training centres with industry and government stakeholders.

She brings to ICRAR her experience in commercial negotiation, corporate governance, talent management, and client relationship management, lowering the barriers to ICRAR collaboration with industry, government, non-profit organisations.

Passionate about career and personal development, one of Aoife’s core areas of interest is in enabling radio astronomers and those supporting radio astronomy to recognise and communciate the value and transferability of their skillsets beyond radio astronomy. Through the ICRAR Translation and Impact program (https://www.icrar.org/our-research/translation-and-impact/), the T&I team demonstrate that radio astronomy skills can be harnessed for impact in other domains across Western Australia’s economy, society, environment, and culture.
