A many-body quantum thermal machine with programmable arrays of single atoms
This theoretical project will develop protocols for operating quantum machines built from arrays of tens of individual ultracold atoms. The aim is to generate and utilise many-body coherence and entanglement, via the control of dissipation and interactions, to demonstrate a quantum advantage.
Burn-out and the well-being of rural health workers in India and Australia: Investigation of the current status and potential ways to improve work and life satisfaction of health workers.
This study aims to examine the burnout and wellbeing of health workers in rural and remote areas of India and Australia.
COVID-19 associated behavior to build sustainable healthcare: Learnings from Indian and Australian Journey of COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 has affected people worldwide. People have displayed a variety of behavioral changes, for instance, wearing masks, panic buying, vaccination hesitancy, etc. The aim is to identify the diffusion of COVID-19 associated behavior in Australia and India & its role in sustainable development.
Polyanionic electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries
Research on sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) is motivated by the high cost and rarity of the ingredients in lithium-ion batteries. High energy density and stable electrode materials are key to battery technologies. The objective of this PhD project is to develop cost-effective cathode materials for NIBs.
Development of conductive two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for electrocatalytic applications
This project aims to develop novel conductive two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) via precise nanoarchitecturing for electrochemical applications and investigate the intrinsic relationships between their physicochemical properties and electrocatalytic performance in water splitting.
Professor Yusuke Yamauchi
Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN)Modelling and simulation of DC Arc plasma involving arc fluctuation and non-equilibrium mixing effects
This project aims to investigate the non-equilibrium mixing behaviour of chemical species within the plasma plume with the help of CFD modelling. The specific attributes sought in this project is the coupling of reaction kinetics with the plasma species transport model.
Single-nanoparticle upconversion nanolasers for probing biological systems
Miniaturized or nanoparticle-based lasers are emerging as promising candidates for biological sensing and imaging, particularly in in-vivo settings. We aim to harness the engineered single-nanoparticle upconverting nano-lasers to sense, image and control biological functions.
Dr Selvakumar Edwardraja
Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN)Informing institutional design for an efficient and equitable electricity sector transition in India
The proposed research will investigate the dynamics of how insufficient cost recovery affects Indias electricity transition outcomes. It will also identify policy strategies that could address both cost recovery and electricity transition objectives in a cost-effective and equitable manner.
Security Analytics of Internet of Things (IoT)
A key feature of the booming IoT is the integration of a wide assortment of technologies, including various standards, proprietary communication protocols and heterogeneous platforms. This PhD thesis is aimed to propose theoretical and systematic solutions to the security of IoT integration.
Causes and Consequences of Hysterectomy: Trends in India and Australia
Hysterectomy, the surgical removal of the uterus, is the most frequently performed surgical procedure in women after caesarean delivery in most countries. This project will investigate the causes and consequences of hysterectomy in India and Australia using secondary data.
