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.

Summary
Geometric construction of critical solutions of nonlinear systems. Whether we are looking at waves on a beach, the dispersal of herds of animals in a landscape, or the interaction of black holes, their patterns of movement rely on rules expressed by non-linear mathematical models. This project will aim to create new mathematical methods to describe the solutions of non-linear systems, which are ubiquitous in modern science.

Summary
Black swans and unknown unknowns: financial markets and their interaction with the macroeconomy in the presence of unanticipated contingencies. Unforeseen contingencies, also called 'black swans' or 'unknown unknowns' pose serious difficulties for decisionmakers. This project will examine how financial regulation can be improved to reduce the vulnerability of the financial system and the macroeconomy to unforeseen shocks.

Derived categories and applications. This project will deepen our understanding of homological algebra, a mathematical tool that has proved useful in areas ranging from physics to the coding of information for computer transmission. Also, having a thriving research presence in Australia, of this vibrant, modern field, should inspire more students to seek a career in mathematics; this would help relieve the acute, well-documented shortage of mathematicians in Australia.

Also, having a thriving research presence in Australia, of this vibrant, modern field, should inspire more students to seek a career in mathematics; this would help relieve the acute, well-documented shortage of mathematicians in Australia. It has been established that Australia is not producing enough mathematicians to meet the needs of industry; a lively centre, full of young, productive mathematicians, will go a long way towards correcting this problem.Read moreRead less

Summary
Consensus, estimation and control in complex large-scale quantum systems. Australia has considerable strengths in quantum technology research and as these technologies advance, the issue of control becomes a critical one. This project will strengthen Australia's position in quantum technology by developing new methodologies for designing high performance controllers and estimators for complex quantum systems.

This Fellowship aims to greatly increase our understanding of the fundamental symmetries of discrete structures, like those present in computer science and cryptography. The research will generate transformative new knowledge in pure mathematics concerning the representations of finite groups, problems that have been unsolved for over a century. Expected outcomes of this fellowship include new algorithms to compute far beyond what is currently possible and a new understanding of the arithmetic difficulties present. Key benefits will be seen in the development of an emerging technology with significant implications for mathematics, and the training of Australian scientists in sophisticated theory and large-scale computation in concert.Read moreRead less

Summary
Zero-dimensional symmetry and its ramifications. This project aims to investigate algebraic objects known as 0-dimensional groups, which are a mathematical tool for analysing the symmetry of infinite networks. Group theory has been used to classify possible types of symmetry in various contexts for nearly two centuries now, and 0-dimensional groups are the current frontier of knowledge.

This project aims to investigate algebraic objects known as 0-dimensional groups, which are a mathematical tool for analysing the symmetry of infinite networks. Group theory has been used to classify possible types of symmetry in various contexts for nearly two centuries now, and 0-dimensional groups are the current frontier of knowledge. The expected outcome of the project is that the understanding of the abstract groups will be substantially advanced, and that this understanding will shed light on structures possessing 0-dimensional symmetry. In addition to being cultural achievements in their own right, advances in group theory such as this also often have significant translational benefits. This will provide benefits such as the creation of tools relevant to information science and researchers trained in the use of these tools.Read moreRead less

Big data has arrived, and with it a huge global demand for statistical knowledge and skills to analyse these data for improved learning and decision-making. This project will seek to address this need by creating a step-change in knowledge in Bayesian statistics and translating this knowledge to real-world challenges in industry, environment and health. The new big data statistical analysts trained through the project could also create much needed capacity at national and international levels.Read moreRead less

Theoretical Foundations of Ethical Machine Learning. The project will develop a systematic theory of ethical machine learning. Machine learning is a powerful and pervasive technology that is already having a huge impact on Australia.

The project will develop a systematic theory of ethical machine learning. Machine learning is a powerful and pervasive technology that is already having a huge impact on Australia. When applied to data about people there are a range of ethical harms that can arise (fairness, and privacy are two of them). The project will develop a rigorously grounded foundation for managing such ethical harms. For example it will allow the quantification of the inevitable trade-offs between fairness and utility. The benefits of the project will include the best possible ways of managing these trade-offs, competitive advantage for Australian firms developing the technology, and will ensure that the country retains a social license to use the technology.Read moreRead less

Summary
New directions, new problems and new data types in statistical science. Statistically challenging problems today involve answering many more questions than we have data. Solving them will elucidate the causes of diseases such as cancer, and provide better security for the community. The project will develop new methods for tackling these challenging problems, taking statistical science in new directions.
