A/Prof Tommy Wiedmann listed amongst the world’s most influential scientific researchers

Associate Professor Tommy Wiedmann, Convenor of the School’s Sustainability Engineering Initiative,  has been named among the world’s most influential scientific researchers in a new analysis of thousands of academic papers by Thomson Reuters. The "Highly Cited Researcher" list and the "World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds 2015" report are based on the number of cited research papers an academic published from 2003 to 2013. They identify the best and most influential scholars from among the world’s estimated nine million researchers who publish upwards of two million papers each year. Tommy Wiedmann is one of four researchers who are listed from UNSW. 

Dr Wiedmann is also involved in UNSW Engineering’s new MEngSc in Sustainable Systems. This new discipline will explore how engineers can discover and implement holistic and effective solutions to unsustainable practices. The program structure strongly encourages holistic thinking and multidisciplinarity, working across a range of disciplines, taking engineering to the next level.
