Successful New ARC Discovery Grants and DECRA Awards
[9 Nov 2012]
Many congratulations to David, Gregor, Branka and Wibowo, on securing ARC Discovery grants , as well as to Nicholas Epain on getting a DECRA award.
Below are shown the grant details.
DP130102244 Hill, Prof David J; Verbic, Dr Gregor
Project Title: Distributed control for wide-area demand response


Project Summary
This project underpins the paradigm shift from load following to load shaping in power system operation by unlocking
the untapped potential of the demand side. The approach taken is to use modern ideas in distributed control. This
Primary FoR 0906 ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING
Administering Organisation: The University of Sydney
DP130102479 Vucetic, Prof Branka; Hardjawana, Dr Wibowo
Project Title: Inter-cell interference modelling and control in future cellular systems

Project Summary
Small cells and frequency reuse are the key concepts in increasing the capacity of wireless cellular networks. However, the deployment of dense cells increases interference and limits the network capacity. This project will deliver novel interference control methods, capable of improving the spectral and energy efficiency in cellular networks.
Primary FoR 1005 COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIES
Administering Organisation: The University of Sydney
DE130101000 Epain, Dr Nicolas
Project Title: Next generation acoustic sensor arrays for super resolution imaging
Project Summary
This project aims to develop a new type of acoustic lens that enhances incoherent sensing. This compressive acoustic sensing approach will achieve super-resolution imaging that is robust to noise. The technology has diverse applications including medical imaging, petroleum prospecting, sonar and acoustic holography and will lead to new technology for Australia.
