The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Algebraic algorithms for investigating the space of bacterial genomes. Understanding evolutionary processes and the way organisms are related is a fundamental objective of the biological sciences. This project brings the power of group theory and computation to bear on these problems, developing new ways of understanding them and new tools to address them.
New mathematics of fractional diffusion for understanding cognitive impairment at the neuronal level. As Australia's population ages, cognitive impairment due to cortical ageing and neurodegeneration is looming as the nation's greatest health problem. The project will deliver new, more realistic, mathematical models for a mechanistic understanding of cognitive impairment at the neuronal level. This understanding is a vital first step in targeting drugs, e.g., to influence neuronal spine proper ....New mathematics of fractional diffusion for understanding cognitive impairment at the neuronal level. As Australia's population ages, cognitive impairment due to cortical ageing and neurodegeneration is looming as the nation's greatest health problem. The project will deliver new, more realistic, mathematical models for a mechanistic understanding of cognitive impairment at the neuronal level. This understanding is a vital first step in targeting drugs, e.g., to influence neuronal spine properties, for preventative health care. The project will maintain international collaborations, between applied mathematicians at UNSW, Sydney and biomathematicians and neuroscientists at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, providing ongoing training opportunities for Australian scientists in this cutting edge biomathematical research.Read moreRead less
Algebraic evolution and evolutionary algebra. Algebra and biology have developed in extraordinary ways over the last half century yet, to date, the use of algebraic ideas in biology has been limited. This project will address this by modelling evolutionary processes in bacteria using algebraic ideas.
Propagation via nonlinear partial differential equations. This project aims to develop new theories in nonlinear partial differential equations to better understand propagation phenomena. Propagation occurs in various forms, such as the spreading of invasive species, infectious diseases or cancer cells, or the progression of the healing front of a wound. This project aims to understand propagation speed and profile, criteria for spreading and vanishing, and other qualitative properties of the eq ....Propagation via nonlinear partial differential equations.

This project aims to understand propagation speed and profile, criteria for spreading and vanishing, and other qualitative properties of the equations. The project will develop new mathematical theories, and build bridges between the theories and applications.Read moreRead less
