Vale Roger Bradbury

The communities of the National Security College and the Crawford School were saddened to learn of the passing of a former colleague, Emeritus Professor Roger Bradbury, on 27 March.

Roger made a significant contribution at the National Security College, the Crawford School and elsewhere across ANU, and is remembered with warmth and respect by former students and colleagues alike. His roles included serving as NSC Academic Director from 2014-2016 and pioneering our work on cyber security, technology and complex systems science.

He was vividly independent in his thinking, research and teaching – his collection of Hawaiian shirts said it all. He drew on an earlier career in the Australian intelligence community and the scientific research sector – including his original training as a zoologist – to teach and inspire new generations of students and policy practitioners.

Our condolences to his family and friends.
