Transportation network modelling and simulation under disaster scenarios
Road networks, resilience to disasters such as floods, earthquakes, bushfires, etc., is key to maintaining continuity and ensuring efficient and safe movement. This project uses crowdsourced data and simulation to evaluate and compare the disaster resilience of Indian and Australian cities.
Fundamental Performance Characteristics of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) Concretes at Early Age
Through using a unique combination of novel tests, this project aims to address key knowledge gaps regarding early-age properties of a new form of low-carbon concrete - namely, limestone calcined clay cement concretes, thereby facilitating their wider adoption in the construction industry worldwide.
Business Strategy and Policy Making: A Comparative Study of Business Models
The objective of this project is to do a comparative study of traditional, physical businesses vis-à-vis the new, digital business models, and their role in business strategy and policy making in the creation, survival, and growth of these businesses in the Indian and Australian context.
Systems modelling for renewable energy transition under different conditions
The project is to analyse and simulate renewable and hydrogen energy systems under different environments that correspond to typical conditions in Australia and India. This research is focused on suggesting suitable technological pathways for energy transitions under different conditions.
Exploring the Interplay of Biodiversity, Climate Zones, and Human Health
Various factors impact human health, including proximity to urban parks. The abundance and richness of species in these parks promote human well-being. Comprehensive climate zone observations are vital for better understanding the connection between biodiversity and human health.
Modelling global riparian traffic networks as a complex human-natural system
This project aims to develop network clustering algorithms to model structures and factors that characterize the global riparian urban traffic networks as a co-evolving human-natural system. It will contribute to building more sustainable cities.
Accelerated stress testing and degradation mechanisms in CO2 electrolysis cell
This project aims to develop efficient and robust electrochemical CO2 reactor cells to convert carbon dioxide to chemicals. The project will use accelerated stress tests to understand how electrocatalysts and membranes degrade during operation and use these insights to improve reactor designs.
Control of Chaotic Flutter in a Wind Turbine Airfoil
The primary aim of this project is to develop and verify a method of control of the occurrence of chaotic flutter in a wind turbine blade section to provide more efficient insight into its occurrence and avoidance in wind energy farms.
Green Polymer Nanocomposites based on PBAT and Nanocellulose
The research project aim is to develop Biodegradable polymer nanocomposite films and laminates with improved mechanical strength, flexibility, thermal stability and biodegradability using sustainable resources for packaging, biodegradable consumer products applications.
