| Chronobiology & Sleep Laboratory at the Brain and Mind Research Institute and Woolcock Institute | We have research facilities for conducting circadian and sleep/sleep deprivation studies, as well as numerous assessment tools for assessing neurocognitive performance, alertness, circadian rhythms, sleep, waking function and physiology. We have researchers who have extensive experience in this area who have worked with the US Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) and the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI). |
| The Key Centre for Polymers & Colloids | We have developed ultrafast nanopatterned photochromatic materials which show response rates within 100’s milliseconds which could be developed as thin protective films to coat combat goggles and aviator visors to protect vision and avoid loss of visual performance from a sudden burst of light (explosions, laser etc).We also have strong research strengths in nanoparticulate superparamagnetic polymer coatings which can be used as Radar absorbing paint. |
| The Institute of Photonics and Optical Science |
Signal processing of radar and microwave signals using optical structures to overcome limited sampling speed and offer immunity from electro-magnetic interference. This process allows tune-ability, low loss and large time-bandwidth product for use in wireless broadband networks, electronic warfare and radar antenna systems. Other IPOS Research includes:• Ultrafast photonics • Astrophotonics • Micro- and nano-structured optical materials • Non-linear optics • High power and mid-IR lasers • Microfluidics • Biomedical photonics • Defence photonics • Photonic sensor systems • Green photonics • Optical materials • Plasmonics |
| Australian Research Council – Centre for Excellence for Autonomous Systems – ACFR |
The Australian Centre for Field Robotics (ACFR) is dedicated to the research, development, application and dissemination of field robotics principles. ACFR is a partner in: • ARC Centre of Excellence for Autonomous Systems (CAS) • Rio Tinto Centre for Mine Automation • Centre of Expertise in Defence Autonomous & Uninhabited Vehicle Systems, DSTO, Australian Government • Centre for Autonomous Aerospace Systems • Academic Capability Partner - BAE Systems |
| School of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering | Research and application expertise in the area of energy utilisation, especially in combustion and in advanced heat-transfer applications such as microstructured heat exchangers.We have developed innovative approaches to the design and construction of chemical plants. Based on printed circuit manufacturing techniques, we are creating highly integrated, highly intensified, transportable chemical plants that can operate extremely efficiently even at small scale which allows for rapid deployment. This work involves fundamental studies of the reaction process, in the laboratory as well as using computational chemistry; process design and simulation; and pilot-plant testing. Projects range from ultra-high-efficiency boilers, to miniaturised chemical plants for commodity and specialty chemicals including ammonium nitrate, and the utilisation of renewable feedstocks such as biomass. |
