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.

Mathematical and computational models for agrichemical retention on plants. Mathematical and computational models for agrichemical retention on plants. This project aims to build interactive software that simulates agrichemical spraying for multiple virtual plants reconstructed from scanned data. Mathematical modelling and computer simulation could offer an alternative to expensive experimental programs for agrichemical spraying of plants.

Mathematical and computational models for agrichemical retention on plants. This project aims to build interactive software that simulates agrichemical spraying for multiple virtual plants reconstructed from scanned data. Mathematical modelling and computer simulation could offer an alternative to expensive experimental programs for agrichemical spraying of plants. This project will use contemporary fluid mechanics to build practical mathematical models for droplet impaction, spreading and evaporation on leaf surfaces, and experimentally calibrate and validate the models. The software is expected to drive the development of agrichemical products that increase retention, minimise environmental impacts, and reduce costs for end-users.Read moreRead less
Symmetry and computation. The overall objective of the project is to explore connections between symmetry and computation, especially the theory and algorithms that facilitate the use of groups in computational science. The main outcome will be theoretically fast algorithms and implementations to drive applications in the sciences and for secure communication.
Complexity of group algorithms and statistical fingerprints of groups. This project aims to shape the next generation of efficient randomised algorithms in the field of group theory, the mathematics of symmetry. Fundamental mathematics underpins modern technological tasks such as web searches, sorting and data compression. This project aims to determine characteristic statistical fingerprints of key building-block groups. These group statistics lead to much faster procedures to essentially facto ....Complexity of group algorithms and statistical fingerprints of groups. This project aims to shape the next generation of efficient randomised algorithms in the field of group theory, the mathematics of symmetry. Fundamental mathematics underpins modern technological tasks such as web searches, sorting and data compression. This project aims to determine characteristic statistical fingerprints of key building-block groups. These group statistics lead to much faster procedures to essentially factor huge groups into smaller building-block groups in a manner akin to factoring an integer into its prime factors. The anticipated goal is to include the outcomes in publicly available symbolic algebra computer packages. As the theory of symmetry has broad applications in the mathematical and physical sciences, there is the potential for far reaching benefits.Read moreRead less
Efficient Computational Methods for Constrained Path Problems. We consider a class of path design problems which arise when an object needs to traverse between two points through a specified region. The region may be a continuous space or the path may be restricted to the edges of a network. The path must optimise a prescribed criterion such
as risk, reliability or cost and satisfy a number of constraints.
Problems of this type readily arise in the defence, transport and
communication i ....Efficient Computational Methods for Constrained Path Problems. We consider a class of path design problems which arise when an object needs to traverse between two points through a specified region. The region may be a continuous space or the path may be restricted to the edges of a network. The path must optimise a prescribed criterion such

Problems of this type readily arise in the defence, transport and
communication industries. In addition to efficient solution methods
for these problems the project will produce computational tools for
a wide range of related network routing problems.Read moreRead less
