Mathematical Modelling of Polymer Crosslinking Processes
Location:
Wollongong, NSW or Remote
This project seeks to build a topological model of the connectivity in a crosslinked thermosetting polymer system as means of understanding its dynamic responses to stress. It is anticipated that this deeper understanding will be a foundation for system innovation.
Generating Insights for the Education and Training System on Lifting Leadership and Management Capability in Australia
Location:
Melbourne, VIC or Brisbane, QLD
Analysis and synthesis of the existing evidence on leadership and management capability in Australia to underpin research and advocacy by the Centre. The project will focus in particular on the productivity imperative to lift management and leadership capability and how the education and training system can best deliver the uplift needed.
Development of a Rapid Biosensor for Wine Fermentation
Location:
Lilydale, VIC
Help advance next-generation tools for wine production by developing a rapid biosensor to measure yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN) — a critical factor in fermentation performance and wine quality. This project combines enzymatic assay development and analytical chemistry to create practical, real-world solutions for the wine industry, with applications both in the laboratory and directly in the winery.
