Discovering novel cell-type specific non-coding RNA and dissecting their role in cancer
Highest resolution of biological information is currently obtained using single-cell (scRNA-seq) and spatial RNA-sequencing experiments (ST-seq). We will develop computational tools using scRNA-seq and ST-seq data to discover novel non-coding RNA and delineate their putative role in oncogenesis.

Department of Biochemical Engineering and BiotechnologyThermo-Mechanics of Asphalt Mixes with Crushed Waste Glass Aggregates
This project aims to develop an experimentally and numerically validated theory to establish a fundamental understanding of key processes controlling the thermo-mechanical coupling behaviour of asphalt mixes with crushed waste glass aggregates.
Privacy in federated machine learning
Some agent nodes collaboratively train a model by using a large data set partitioned among the nodes. The nodes perform local computations and share the results globally over a network. However, this might compromise private information of the nodes, which will be addressed in this project.
Security of federated machine learning
Some agent nodes collaboratively train a model by using a large data set partitioned among the nodes. The nodes perform local computations and share the results globally over a network. However, some malicious nodes might send false results. This project seeks to design and combat such attacks.
New approaches to the development of highly effiicnet organic chromophores
The project aims to apply new materials design theory and advanced synthetic approaches to create new materials classes for next-generation see-through electronics with exciting applications like augmented reality, car windscreen display and head mounted goggles for biomedical/surgical applications.

2D quantum materials studied by scanning probe methods
In this project, the student will investigate the electronic behavior of quantum materials. We are interested in understanding the electronic correlations leading to observation of quantum phases such as topological insulators, Weyl semimetals, and intrinsic magnetism in materials such as WTe2 and N...
Quest for Polymer-electrolytes to Enable Interfacial Stability in Room-temperature Sodium-Sulfur Battery
In the era of rapid technological development, increasing energy demand have led us to pursue alternative energy storage systems that must fulfil rigorous requirements like cost-effectiveness and high storage capacities. To minimize our reliance on Li based battery technologies, sodium-based batteri...
Utilization of Mining Wastes as Backfill Material for Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Walls
Generation of mining wastes is a problem that is common to both Australia and India. To support circular economies in both the countries, it is imperative that these by-products are stabilised and reused effectively. One of their potential usage could be as backfill materials that support mechanical...
Predictive modelling of settling and consolidation, and desiccation and re-wetting of mine tailings
Mine tailings are conventionally deposited in a surface or in-pit storage as a thickened slurry, and undergo settling and consolidation, desiccation of the exposed surface, and possible re-wetting. The project aims to characterise various tailings, and develop a numerical predictive model.
Full Duplex Antenna Systems
RF spectrum is a prized commodity constrained by regulatory and environmental factors. While traditional communications have relied on different frequency or time slots for transmit or receive functions of a transceiver, the channel capacity can be theoretically doubled by allowing simultaneous tran...
