This project aims to propose novel privacy preserving schemes that can protect the privacy of individuals in the era of Internet of things and machine learning. In the recent years, most Australian organizations have been a target of privacy and cybersecurity attacks, affecting their data and network systems. The expected outcomes of this project are privacy preserving schemes that can prevent attackers from compromising the private information of individuals in IoT and machine learning services, and thus significantly improve the protection against cybersecurity attacks. Significant benefits in social wellbeing and security are expected for all industry, government, and service sectors that collect data about people.Read moreRead less

Engaging ethnic minority and majority blood donors in donor recruitment. Word-of-mouth is a potentially powerful way to recruit blood donors. Talking about donation increases awareness, trust, commitment and positive feelings about donating, particularly in ethnic minority groups. However, donors seldom tell others about donating. This project aims to determine how to motivate blood donors to recruit new donors using word-of-mouth, through research comprising co-design, surveys, and experiments. ....Engaging ethnic minority and majority blood donors in donor recruitment. Word-of-mouth is a potentially powerful way to recruit blood donors. Talking about donation increases awareness, trust, commitment and positive feelings about donating, particularly in ethnic minority groups. However, donors seldom tell others about donating. This project aims to determine how to motivate blood donors to recruit new donors using word-of-mouth, through research comprising co-design, surveys, and experiments. This project will generate new knowledge of how to encourage effective word-of-mouth for pro-social behaviours. Expected outcomes include producing culturally relevant, validated resources that will significantly benefit Australia by encouraging effective conversations to promote blood donation in all communities.Read moreRead less
Ultra-reliable and low-latency mission critical communications. This project aims to develop enabling technologies for ultra-reliable and low-latency communications. While the evolution of wireless communication technologies to date has focused on data rate improvement, very little is known on how to achieve ultra-reliability and almost-zero latency which is urgently required for mission critical applications such as smart manufacturing and intelligent vehicles.

This project aims to develop enabling technologies for ultra-reliable and low-latency communications. While the evolution of wireless communication technologies to date has focused on data rate improvement, very little is known on how to achieve ultra-reliability and almost-zero latency which is urgently required for mission critical applications such as smart manufacturing and intelligent vehicles. The outcomes of the project will be new analytical tools and practical guidelines for designing trusted communication platforms to realise these applications, with benefits ranging from improved safety in intelligent transportation systems to digital transformation of the manufacturing industry.Read moreRead less
Topological wave manipulation in hybrid integrated platforms. This project aims to establish a powerful toolkit for topological wave manipulation in photonic systems interfaced with layered 2D materials. This research will address a significant problem of miniaturising photonic components for reliable and compact signal processing. The reduction in size will be achieved by engineering coupling of topological photonic states with matter in judiciously structured materials at subwavelength scales. ....Topological wave manipulation in hybrid integrated platforms.

This research will address a significant problem of miniaturising photonic components for reliable and compact signal processing. The reduction in size will be achieved by engineering coupling of topological photonic states with matter in judiciously structured materials at subwavelength scales. The expected outcomes will include new methods of controlling light-matter waves on a chip via pattern distortions or twists of the 2D materials, without the use of strong magnetic and electric fields. These outcomes will benefit future development of high performance and energy-efficient integrated devices.Read moreRead less
