Summary
New mathematical models for capturing heterogeneity of human brain tissue. This project aims to understand the impact of the heterogeneity of brain tissue on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data in both healthy and diseased human brains, and to extract and quantify information on heterogeneity from the data. The project aims to develop novel mathematical and computational approaches to model the heterogeneity of the human brain. The project aims to identify new biomarkers for classifying differ ....New mathematical models for capturing heterogeneity of human brain tissue. This project aims to understand the impact of the heterogeneity of brain tissue on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data in both healthy and diseased human brains, and to extract and quantify information on heterogeneity from the data. The project aims to develop novel mathematical and computational approaches to model the heterogeneity of the human brain. The project aims to identify new biomarkers for classifying different brain diseases, based on the extent of heterogeneity across different brain tissue. Results will be validated against extensive MRI scanning data of patients. This project aims to advance state-of-the-art techniques in human brain MRI data analysis.Read moreRead less

This project aims to improve algorithms for detecting hidden items by developing new computational mathematical techniques capable of reconstructing the shape and location of objects using electromagnetic waves. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the areas of Bayesian Inversion and computational wave propagation. Expected outcomes of this project are algorithms that can be developed for use in nonintrusive radio wave security scanners. This should provide benefits such as the capability to scan a crowd without a checkpoint, which will have the potential to improve security in public places.Read moreRead less
From genes to organ function: understanding how heterogeneity in tissue modulates cellular behaviour in the heart. New computational and software engineering approaches are developed to model the electrophysiological variability of the heart and the mechanisms inducing arrhythmias. A significant outcome is a set of practical tools vital to cardiac research that provide medical specialists the ability to test hypotheses on low-cost powerful computing hardware.

Summary
Two-scale numerical modelling of coupled transport in heterogeneous media. Groundwater constitutes a vital part of water resources in Australia, however, the quality of this water is susceptible to contamination. This project aims to develop an innovative two-scale mathematical model for contaminant transport that accounts for small-scale heterogeneities found in the unsaturated zone of an aquifer located between the ground surface and the underlying groundwater. The project aims to develop valu ....Two-scale numerical modelling of coupled transport in heterogeneous media. Groundwater constitutes a vital part of water resources in Australia, however, the quality of this water is susceptible to contamination. This project aims to develop an innovative two-scale mathematical model for contaminant transport that accounts for small-scale heterogeneities found in the unsaturated zone of an aquifer located between the ground surface and the underlying groundwater. The project aims to develop valuable environmental insights, a simulation tool that will help in making decisions regarding the future management of Australian groundwater resources, and a general two-scale modelling and simulation framework for other important environmental and industrial problems involving coupled transport in heterogeneous media.Read moreRead less
Image-based Multiscale Modelling of Transport Phenomena in Porous Media. This project aims to develop an innovative general framework to build multiphase porous media transport models directly from electron microscope images of the underlying microstructure. Leading edge experimental, computational and applied mathematical techniques are proposed to drive this novel approach of multiscale modelling, employable across numerous fields of science and engineering.

This project aims to develop an innovative general framework to build multiphase porous media transport models directly from electron microscope images of the underlying microstructure. Leading edge experimental, computational and applied mathematical techniques are proposed to drive this novel approach of multiscale modelling, employable across numerous fields of science and engineering. The central project theme of developing an efficient and accurate multiscale model for simulating transport in heterogeneous porous media is expected to find application in the drying, timber and crop industries, and governmental agencies managing pollution in groundwater resources. This insight is likely to be invaluable for designing new industrial technologies and optimising current operations.Read moreRead less
