Our projects

This project will explore the concept of Just Transitions and apply it to India's coal regions. It will identify the range of local and regional enablers and barriers that will shape India's future decarbonisation pathways. It will also consider possible economic futures for India's coal belt.

Molecular crystals are typically brittle which limits their applications in emerging technologies. This project will develop new flexible crystals that have piezoelectric responses for applications in new devices.

The project aims to examine how new high-tech based entrepreneurial ventures in the agricultural domain, called agritech startups, are transforming the agricultural ecosystem with digital technologies. The project spans the fields of information systems and management/organisation studies.

The project aims to develop simulation tools for the detection of damage in thin-walled structures based on the interaction of guided waves with structural nonlinearities such as closed cracks. The new method will overcome baseline data requirements in current structural health monitoring systems.

The main aim of the proposed work is to develop a deep fundamental framework to engineer and predict properties of 3D nonwoven materials for next-generation lightweight composites.

In this project we will explore adversarial attacks on deep neural networks for the visual recognition tasks. We will be focusing on the practical attacks in which the adversary causes large unrestricted perturbation in an image, thus managing to fool both the model as well as the human observer.

This project aims to advance theory and practice on the uptake of sustainable construction materials through a case study of the potential introduction of low-carbon Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) to Pacific Small Island Developing States (PSIDS).

This project uses Nanopore sequencing to map micro-exon splicing events at a single cell level in human induced pluripotent stem cell derived brain organoids to gain insight into how abnormal micro-exon splicing leads to neurodevelopmental defects that cause epilepsy.

The production of chemicals and energy from plants is a key alternative to fossil carbon. This project will use technoeconomic analysis to evaluate the potential use of sugarcane, an abundant source of biomass in both India and Australia, to produce a range of high value end products.

The project aims to develop new class of light-emitting devices operating at very high current densities.
