Supervisors

• Professor Mark David Harrison  (Associate Supervisor)
• Adjunct Associate Professor Valentino Setoa Junior Te'o  (External Supervisor)
• Professor Zhanying Zhang  (Principal Supervisor)

Citation

This thesis explores the potential of thermophilic cellulase enzymes for the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass, specifically sugarcane bagasse, in the production of renewable fuels and biochemicals. Cellulase genes from thermophilic bacteria were isolated and expressed in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis to create thermostable enzyme mixtures. These enzymes were evaluated for their stability, activity, and effectiveness in biomass hydrolysis under various conditions. The research demonstrates the advantages of thermophilic cellulases over mesophilic enzymes, while also addressing challenges such as optimising enzyme yields for large-scale applications.

Development of Novel Liquid Metal Catalysts for Carbon Dioxide Reduction to Carbonaceous Products

Supervisors

• Associate Professor Jonathan Gerald Love  (Associate Supervisor)
• Professor Anthony Peter O'Mullane  (Principal Supervisor)
• Professor Kostyantyn Ostrikov  (Associate Supervisor)

Citation

The increasing rate of carbon dioxide emissions from industrial sources contribute to global warming and other environmental issues. Several processes have been developed to minimize CO2 emissions. Conventional thermal energy-powered CO2 reduction processes suffer from high energy consumption compared to renewable energy-driven processes. Combining a liquid metal-based catalyst with a renewable energy-based processes can achieve CO2 reduction at lower energy. In this thesis, CO2 reduction into valuable carbonaceous products using gallium-based catalysts was achieved via several processes including plasma to produce solid carbon. Higher value products were obtained via sonochemical and electrochemical processes including acetamide and oxygenates.

Exploring Ecohydrology in a Subtropical Montaine Forest Using Multiple Techniques

Supervisors

• Mr Nelson Corbett  (External Supervisor)
• Professor Jennifer Firn  (Associate Supervisor)
• Associate Professor Lucy Reading  (Principal Supervisor)

Citation

Transpiration can make up a large proportion of an ecosystem water balance, but there remains a knowledge gap in quantitatively understanding the relative importance of controlling factors. This thesis identified five variables that could be used to accurately model transpiration, and proposes an upscaling workflow using random forest modelling to predict transpiration for other periods and areas using national datasets. Recharge and evapotranspiration at the field site were both estimated to be high, and stable isotopes of water data revealed atypical isotopic signatures which could be related to recycling of evapotranspired water or cloud water interception.

Thesis Title

Development of Photoresponsive Metal Based Single-Chain Nanoparticles

Supervisors

• Distinguished Professor Christopher Winfried Barner Kowollik  (Principal Supervisor)
• Dr Bryan Tuten  (Associate Supervisor)

Citation

A precise interplay exists between the macromolecular scaffold and catalytically active metal centres within enzymes, resulting in nature's ultimate catalysts. Although replicating the precision of enzymes in the laboratory is challenging, the quest for enzyme-like catalysis has led to catalytic —often metal-based — single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs). SCNPs can be enhanced with functionalities not found within enzymes, critically, photoresponsivity. The current thesis focuses on incorporating photoswitches into the scaffold of metal-containing SCNPs. Here, photo-induced isomerization leads to distinct morphological changes, affecting access to the metal centres that act as either catalytic or structure-forming elements within SCNPs.

Mechanistic Aspects of Photo-Induced Polymerizations on Multiple Time-Scales from the Earliest Events to Product Formation

Supervisors

• Distinguished Professor Christopher Winfried Barner Kowollik  (Principal Supervisor)
• Dr Andreas Neil Unterreiner  (External Supervisor)
• Dr Sarah Louise Walden  (Associate Supervisor)

Citation

In the current thesis several photopolymerization experiments have been conducted and new models of photopolymerization have been explored. Femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopy explores the excited state dynamics immediately after photoexcitation. Visible light, one-photon pulse-induced laser polymerization experiments expand the time scale up to end product formation. Further, two-photon excitation techniques for polymer formation, using mild NIR light, are quantitatively analyzed for the first time. The use of NIR light absorbing plasmonic gold nanorods as photothermal converters in combination with conventional thermal initiators is an alternative approach explored in the current thesis, offering polymerization conditions for sensitive (biological) applications.

Control of Structural, Physical and Electrochemical Properties of Garnet Solid Electrolytes

Supervisors

• Adjunct Professor Jose Antonio Alarco  (Associate Supervisor)
• Adjunct Professor Peter Cade Talbot  (Principal Supervisor)
• Associate Professor Joshua Lee Watts  (Associate Supervisor)

Citation

Garnet-structured solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are key to safer, higher energy density batteries. However, limited ionic conductivities and lack of reproducibility during synthesis inhibit their practical application. This thesis addresses these challenges in garnet-type Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) ceramics by developing a novel solution-based synthesis method. This method allows for improved control over the phase chemistry, crystal structure, and particle morphology in comparison to conventional solid-state processing techniques. In the final chapter, the optimised materials are transitioned to scalable thin films with record-high ionic conductivity (1.41 mS/cm), advancing garnet electrolytes for future solid-state batteries.

Mathematical Modelling of Droplets on Plant Leaf Surfaces

Supervisors

• Professor Scott William McCue  (Associate Supervisor)
• Professor Timothy John Moroney  (Principal Supervisor)
• Dr Ravindra Pethiyagoda  (External Supervisor)
• Professor Ian William Turner  (Associate Supervisor)

Citation

This project saw the development of new techniques for mathematical modelling of sprayed droplet retention on plant crops, using virtual reconstructions of real plants and a novel particle-based droplet model. By synthesising leaf data scanned at multiple length scales, the surface reconstruction approach builds realistic leaf surfaces upon which the droplet model is applied to simulate realistic wetting phenomena. The flexible scattered data interpolation methods for surface reconstruction handle large, noisy datasets robustly. The droplet model employs pairwise forces between particles to mimic cohesion and adhesion, which is found to quantitatively reproduce surface tension and wetting physics.

Online Nonparametric Bayesian Hawkes Processes

Supervisors

• Distinguished Professor Kerrie Lee Mengersen  (Principal Supervisor)
• Associate Professor Paul Pao Yen Wu  (Associate Supervisor)

Citation

Events occur in the world with their frequencies fluctuating over time. It is expected that some of these events are not isolated and that their occurrence increases the likelihood of more events. A type of point process, called the Hawkes process, describes the sequential arrival of events exhibiting a self-exciting behaviour. This thesis generalises the Hawkes Process to online nonparametric approaches. Motivated by the ever-increasing number of streaming applications and the challenges of selecting the functional form, the developed models demonstrate improved benefits in both flexibility and scalability.

Paleobiology of a Hydrothermal Dike Complex Associated with the ~3.43Ga Strelley Pool Formation

Supervisors

• Associate Professor David Timothy Oki Flannery  (Principal Supervisor)
• Professor Balz Samuel Kamber  (Mentoring Supervisor)

Citation

This research focused on a hydrothermal dike complex associated with the ~3.43-billion-year-old Strelley Pool Formation, which is renowned for exceptional preservation of some of Earth’s first shallow water marine environments and microbial ecosystems.
