FLURO4 - Key Persons
Russell Connally grew up with a passion for chemistry and electronics, an unusual pairing but ultimately a very useful one. He was a qualified metallurgist employed by BHP until he decided to launch his own electronics business (Technitron) in Queensland. The knowledge gained through this enterprise helped him gain employment as the firmware team leader with Siemens Access Control (Sydney). It was at this time he enrolled at Macquarie University in a Biotechnology degree, graduating in 1997 and in 1999 he was invited to return to Macquarie University to commence a full-time MSc. on a project that required expertise in biology, electronics and software.
