Operational Forecasting of Cloud Cover to Tackle the Intermittency From Solar and Battery Hybrid Power Plants
Location:
Melbourne, VIC
Contribute to the next generation of operational cloud monitoring and forecasting algorithms to guarantee the stable supply of solar energy to the grid. Clouds are the main source of intermittency in solar power generation. Work on Proa’s world-leading energy management solution used to transform solar farm into scheduled generators.
Optimal Lighting Conditions for Optical 3D Body Scans
Location:
Melbourne, VIC
Bodd Technologies 3D body scanner is disrupting the clothing industry with a fast and efficient means to accurately collect over 400 data points on the human body. Research the extent of the environmental lighting conditions to optimise its performance and mitigate any adverse conditions through dynamic camera parameter adjustments.
Building Next Generation Portable Life Support Systems
Location:
Sydney, NSW or Remote
This research will help drive the development of next generation spacesuit life support systems. The work would have impact on the efficiency of legacy life support systems and create a sustainable long term EVA spacesuit architecture with next generation life support systems which improve the overall efficiency of extra vehicular activities.
This project aims to present a holistic performance intelligence and simulated activity for people in variable gravity conditions based on their biomechanics in 1G conditions. This research project will help us reduce the training costs for human spaceflight and present better avenues of preparation for mission critical operations.
Medical Device Component Fabrication and Circuit Design
Location:
Melbourne, VIC
Anura Medical strives to reduce preventable deaths and improve quality of life for millions of people worldwide through the development of a device that enables clinicians to detect and treat attacks of lung disease early. An exciting opportunity exists for an intern to advance the product development of this wearable device, in preparation for first-in-human studies.
Advanced Optimisation for Small and Long-Range Object Detection and Tracking in Maritime Environments
Location:
Port Melbourne, VIC
Contribute to the development of both hardware (HW) and software (SW) solutions that address intriguing challenges in the realm of autonomous optical systems.
Establishment of Gene Editing Methods in Grain Legumes
Location:
Melbourne, VIC
Genome editing has the potential to create targeted mutations in genes of crop plants that underlie agronomic traits, resulting in modified gene expression or protein function. This project will focus on establishing plant transformation methods (gene delivery and regeneration) for genome editing approaches in key grain legumes that involve the delivery of CRISPR reagents.
All PhD and Masters by Research students are encouraged to submit an expression of interest to join the APR.Intern database. These submissions are viewed by industry partners with the intention of creating internship projects.
