Professor Roland De Marco
Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research)
BSc RMIT, MSc RMIT, PhD, La Trobe, MRACI

We would like to welcome Professor Roland De Marco as USC’s inaugural Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research to boost the University’s success in research publications and grant income.

The Professor of Chemistry was previously the Associate Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research Strategy and Development) at Curtin University in Perth, where he had worked since 1995.

At Curtin, he helped create a strong research culture that delivered many prestigious Australian Research Council fellowships, a top 500 ranking in the Shanghai Jiao Tong index, and a national ranking just outside the top 10 universities in Australia.

Professor De Marco aims to lift USC’s research ranking from 38th of 41 universities ranked according to reported research income and publications, to the top 30 by 2021.

USC is already taking this approach in research areas like sustainability, genecology and business, and should benefit greatly from Professor De Marco’s experience and guidance.
