Body article

Alan Finkel was born in Australia in 1953. He gained a doctorate in Electrical Engineering at Monash University in 1981 and built up a science company that was in the United States. He contributes a lot to medical research, which creates a device to speed up drug research. As the chief scientist of Australia, he won a lot of awards, such as the Institution of Engineering and Technology Mountbatten Medal and David Dewhurst Medal. But the information about Alan is not complete, there is only a simple description of him, so I may use some resources to make some additions.

personal background This article is found on the Australian government website, which will be used in the first part (personal background). This biography provides complete information about Alan Finkle, I can perfect the personal background based on this article. The Australian government should be the publisher of this work, which is a reliable party that provides verifiable evidence to prove the authenticity of this article. At this point, this resource should be credible and authoritative. The verifiability of this article can certify it is not the original research, which is based on the no reliable, published sources. In addition, this biography is consistent with information from different third-party sources, which could show that the biography is written by independent sources. Furthermore, because this biography is published based on a reliable source which is not original research, the biography is based on the other reliable, published sources. I will use this biography to summarize his main deeds in order to complete the background introduction of the characters. It will be helpful to make a completed introduction part on Wikipedia.

Published article & contribution This journal is published by Alan Finkel and it will contribute to the second part that is the published article. In this journal, Alan shows his opinion about encouraging academic research and making social outcomes better by improving the reward research mechanism. And, he also indicated that the publicly funded researchers suffer the fundamental misalignment from taxpayers who only care about the benefit of their research result. It could be the other point that Alan holds, which can be written down in the second part of the Wiki page I found at Sydney Uni library website, and this journal has been peer-reviewed. That means this article has been by an authority plus the author of this article is Alan who is the chef’s scientist in Australia, so it should be a reliable resource cause it's credible and authoritative. Because this journal is based on a verifiable and authoritative view, so it can’t be original research that lacks reliable, published sources. Furthermore, this journal is based on his own ideas that are professional plus other academic resources, so this article could be included in the second part to make more additions to his attitude. I will use this article to refine his academic views and classify them in the part of his academic achievements. It can help me to get more information about what Alan has done that contributes to Australian science. Alan shows his view of energy storage in this journal. He believes that there is a demand for energy storage for renewable energy to solve the low reliable energy supply issue in Australia. He also gives the advice to use alternative ways to store energy except for battery storage, which includes fast-start gas turbines, spinning reserves in wind turbines. For this article, it should be a credible and authoritative resource, because is based on the paraphrase of his publicly asserted views that is verifiable. It will be included in the second part of the Wiki page, which can help me to write more information about his view and attitude.

honor This is a commendation for his innovation in medicine and science. Besides that, Alan won the Clunies Ross Award for the development of an instrument that records the electrical activity of cells are also indicated in this article. The doctor of letters and Clunies ross both belong to his honor, so this article can help me fill up the third part to build the honor & Awards section. Alan won this prize in 2019 and this resource gives brief information about what Alan has done for the scientific instrument. It shows that Alan makes a big contribution to the scientific instrument that is used on electrophysiology, fluorescence imaging, and gene expression. Besides that, Alan produces the single-electrode voltage clamp to measure the current flowing through ion channels in a wider range of disease and cell types than previously possible
