Anke Oatley

Anke’s desire in having an impact through her career led to her pursuit of a low-carbon power systems major within a Master of Electrical Engineering degree. Her interest in learning about power generation and distribution stems from her commitment to being part of the energy transition to a more sustainable future. She is coupling this with professional experience through internships, including with Wannon Water.

She is also interested in the role of education, having volunteered for Robogals and organised the inaugural Biodesign Competition with the Melbourne Bioinnovation Student Initiative (MBSI). Anke will further these two interests during the Wattle Fellowship by providing opportunities for students to engage with renewable energy projects.

Outside of engineering, Anke loves to cook (and eat!) alongside playing sport. During the pandemic, she did a stint at a vent after a childhood growing up with many dogs and chickens.
