My parents were of Greek origin having migrated to Australia in the
early part of the 20th century. My background is in food, drugs and
health with a specific interest in edible oils. My research involves
field trials, olive fruit quality, olive oil quality and table olive
production and evaluation. I have behind me 38 years of university based
R&D. With olives I have conducted olive symposia, international olive
schools, olive propagation and table olive workshops. Olive symposia and
Olive oil workshops are planned for 2000 and in 2001 I will be
conducting an International Olive School in Italy. I have hosted in
Perth the following for the past programs - Italy (Professor Montedoro,
Professor Maurizio Seveli, Professor Agostino Tombesi, Fr Maurizio
Lambardi)) Greece (Professor Apostolos Kiritsakis), France (Professor
John-Baptiste Lousard) USA (Dr Louise Ferguson), Israel (Professor
Shimon Lavee) and Spain (Dr Juan Tous). I have inumerable Australian and
International contacts around the world.

Hope this is enough

if you require more let me know
