SafeAge product safety
Older persons as a cohort are at high risk of consumer product-related injury and death. The most recent Australian research into product safety issues for older persons was conducted over 25 years ago, yet the marketplace and product technology have changed dramatically and the population at risk has grown.This Australian Research Council funded Discovery Project aims to generate contemporary knowledge of the role of consumer products in injuries and deaths for older persons. It is a 3-year collaborative academic research …

Combining solar and vibration energy harvesting for rainfall prediction
Rainfall prediction plays a crucial role in various sectors such as agriculture, water resource management, and disaster preparedness. Traditional prediction methods often rely on complex meteorological models and expensive equipment. However, advancements in energy harvesting technology offer the opportunity to develop low-cost and sustainable solutions for rainfall prediction.This project proposes to leverage solar and vibration energy harvesting for rainfall prediction. Combined measurements from both solar and vibration energy harvesting can provide comprehensive data for real-time monitoring of cloud coverage and …

Infrared signatures and spectral decomposition: Identifying and analysing accreting supermassive black holes
This project aims to explore the identification and properties of accreting supermassive black holes, commonly known as active galactic nuclei (AGN), by cross-matching the FourStar Galaxy Evolution Survey (ZFOURGE) with the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) data. Using WISE infrared colors to pinpoint AGNs and comparing these findings with results from the spectral energy distribution (SED) decomposition on ZFOURGE data, you will enhance AGN identification techniques and deepen our understanding of their physical characteristics. This comparative approach will improve our …
