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
Triple hybrid fuel-cell-based propulsion for long-range eVTOL operations. AMSL Aero's Vertiia is an Australian-developed electric Vertical Take Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft that will provide rapid response air ambulance and low-cost passenger transport for rural Australia. This project will optimise a fuel cell/battery/ultracapacitor triple hybrid system for Vertiia by combining dynamic energy source models, hardware-in-the-loop simulations, aero-propulsive flight mechanics models, and accel ....Triple hybrid fuel-cell-based propulsion for long-range eVTOL operations. AMSL Aero's Vertiia is an Australian-developed electric Vertical Take Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft that will provide rapid response air ambulance and low-cost passenger transport for rural Australia. This project will optimise a fuel cell/battery/ultracapacitor triple hybrid system for Vertiia by combining dynamic energy source models, hardware-in-the-loop simulations, aero-propulsive flight mechanics models, and accelerated degradation testing. The triple hybrid will extend the life of both batteries and fuel cells for eVTOL aircraft. It will allow AMSL to fast-track the improved durability needed for cost-competitive long-range eVTOL operations, giving them an up-front and industry-leading experience on hybrid systems for eVTOLs.Read moreRead less

Summary
Bio-inspired Sustainable Materials for Self-powered Environmental Sensing . This project aims to address the industry need for self-powered, light-weight and durable Internet of Things (IoT) devices for environmental sensing applications. The goal will be achieved by designing high power moisture-driven electric generators with a bi-layer interfacial architecture, developing non-flammable energy storage devices with cost-effective electrodes, and printing low power environmental sensors with he ....Bio-inspired Sustainable Materials for Self-powered Environmental Sensing . This project aims to address the industry need for self-powered, light-weight and durable Internet of Things (IoT) devices for environmental sensing applications. The goal will be achieved by designing high power moisture-driven electric generators with a bi-layer interfacial architecture, developing non-flammable energy storage devices with cost-effective electrodes, and printing low power environmental sensors with hetero-structured materials. The key outcome will be a new class of IoT devices with high power density, sustainable output, and real time environmental monitoring capabilities, that will directly benefit Australian industry by providing cost-effective, yet efficient ways to monitor and support safe working environments.Read moreRead less

Summary
Life prediction and optimisation of advanced first-wall fusion materials. The project focusses on accelerating the development radiation-tolerant materials for fusion energy, in collaboration with HB11 and Tokamak Energy. Specifically, we aim to understand the degradation mechanisms of the “first-wall” component, which is exposed to high energy radiation. In turn, this will (a) enable accurate life assessments of the component, and (b) inform how to optimise it material for longer-lasting fusion ....Life prediction and optimisation of advanced first-wall fusion materials.

Specifically, we aim to understand the degradation mechanisms of the “first-wall” component, which is exposed to high energy radiation. In turn, this will (a) enable accurate life assessments of the component, and (b) inform how to optimise it material for longer-lasting fusion devices. The outcomes directly reduce the cost of energy produced by the partner’s fusion devices, help bridge the gap from TRL 3 to 6, and provide valuable inputs for techno-economic models and licensing applications. The fellowship will also enhance Australia’s prominence in the international fusion energy stage.Read moreRead less

This project aims to address the key risk factor of gas leakage from carbon dioxide geological sequestration and hydrogen or compressed air renewable-energy storage. This project expects to develop innovative methods for monitoring gas leakage contamination into overlying Australian aquifer water resources. Expected outcomes of this project include a multidisciplinary method to detect leakages of CO2 and future stored-energy gases that can contaminate aquifers. This should provide significant benefits including enabling greenhouse gas emissions reduction while protecting Australian water resources. This is critically important for Great Artesian Basin aquifers that support over 180,000 Australians and overlie many planned storage sites.Read moreRead less
