Artificial Intelligence (AI) has shown tremendous potential in revolutionizing healthcare delivery. This research focuses on developing AI agents that can augment clinical decision-making processes, ultimately improving patient outcomes. The project aims to explore and design novel AI architectures that integrate disparate medical data sources, providing context-aware recommendations for diagnosis, treatment planning, and care coordination. Despite the promising applications of AI in healthcare, significant challenges remain in integrating these technologies into clinical practice effectively and safely.

High-throughput screening assays are essential for accelerating drug discovery, but current assays often rely on endpoint measurements that do not capture the dynamic response of cells to drug treatment. Machine learning algorithms (MLAs) have the potential to enable real-time, high-throughput monitoring of cell response to drug treatment by analyzing complex datasets generated by multiplexed live-cell assays. This research project aims to develop an MLA for enabling high throughput cell response data in drug treatment. The project will involve three main …

Artificial intelligence (AI) can play a significant role in analyzing and predicting energy consumption and production patterns from renewable sources such as solar and wind (Lyu & Liu 2021). This is particularly important due to the key challenge of intermittency, where major renewable sources for electricity, such as solar and wind, are subject to the inconsistencies of the weather (Watson et al., 2022).In this project, we investigate how AI and machine learning algorithms can optimize smart grids and other components …

Smart campus is an emerging concept following the smart city research movement and is predominantly argued to be a miniature replica of the smart city providing an ideal prototype for university campus development. The smart campus concept has attracted much attention, predominantly due to the rise in artificial intelligence, internet-of-things, cloud computing and big data applications in advancing university campus operation efficiency. In recent years, Australian universities started to invest in smart campus technologies and development opportunities.ReferenceA brief background on …

Each year more than 200,000 patients (adults and children) are admitted to intensive care units (ICU) in Australia and New Zealand for treatment of serious and life-threatening injury or illness, or recovery from major surgery. The vast majority (~90%) of ICU patients will require an arterial catheter during their admission to optimise vital treatment and monitoring. Arterial catheters are small hollow plastic tubes inserted into peripheral arteries to facilitate continuous haemodynamic monitoring (e.g. blood-pressure) and frequent blood sampling. Hence, effective …
