This project aims to improve cancer imaging by combining two complimentary, novel techniques. Its success will create an internationally leading position for Australia in cutting-edge research in optical and terahertz biomedical imaging. This innovative, fundamental research will expand Australia's research capacity in imaging sciences. The nation will benefit from new medical diagnostic techniques that will improve the detection and treatment of cancer; as well as aid the clinical assessment of burns. This multidisciplinary, internationally collaborative research has additional wide ranging benefits in biology, medicine, pharmaceutical science and national security.Read moreRead less
Modelling and Simulation of Disease Spread Dynamics Using Interacting Automata. Modelling and simulation techniques will be developed to strengthen our understanding of disease spread over the landscape, so allowing timely control strategies to be developed. The economic cost to Australia of introduced pests, animal and plant diseases is considerable. We utilise an interacting automata formalism to capture landscape, population and contagion information as it affects disease spread to provide ....Modelling and Simulation of Disease Spread Dynamics Using Interacting Automata. Modelling and simulation techniques will be developed to strengthen our understanding of disease spread over the landscape, so allowing timely control strategies to be developed. The economic cost to Australia of introduced pests, animal and plant diseases is considerable. We utilise an interacting automata formalism to capture landscape, population and contagion information as it affects disease spread to provide more accurate simulation than is done at present. Generic simulation tools will be constructed, capable of being rapidly personalised by epidemiologists for specific diseases.Read moreRead less

Summary
Western Australian Supercomputer Program (WASP). The simulation and understanding of real biological and physical systems, at the level enabling significant and usable insights, requires teraflop+ computing. The rate-determining step in the next generation of analysis and modelling calculations requires access to massively parallel supercomputers. In Western Australia, there are a number of critical and unique projects that are totally dependant on such facilities.

The simulation and understanding of real biological and physical systems, at the level enabling significant and usable insights, requires teraflop+ computing. The rate-determining step in the next generation of analysis and modelling calculations requires access to massively parallel supercomputers. In Western Australia, there are a number of critical and unique projects that are totally dependant on such facilities. The Western Australian Supercomputer Program (WASP) will provide a quantum advance to computationally-intensive scientific research, as well as to world-class visualisation and data-management resources for academic and business communities, both nationally and internationally.Read moreRead less
