The Mathematics in Contemporary Science Research Network brings contemporary methods of non-linear analysis and differential equations, geometric reasoning and relevant algebraic and topological ideas to enrich six application areas in modern science: Complex Systems, Computer Vision, Optimal Transportation, Nanotechnology, Physics and Shortest Networks. MiCS will develop both the mathematics and the application areas in parallel. It will focus on postgraduate training through workshops, summer schools and web based resources and build long-term international collaborations with EU networks and NSERC, NSF and EPSRC institutes as well as bringing together academic and industry leaders.Read moreRead less
Core-scale geodynamic rock-typing of reservoir rock. This project aims to develop a robust classification method for reservoir rock incorporating static, dynamic and mechanical attributes via multiscale digital core analysis using the concept of regional measures. Rock-types are used to populate reservoir models in a sophisticated routine of geological classification, spatial modelling and uncertainty analysis. Introducing high-resolution rock-types incorporating hydraulic properties and compact ....Core-scale geodynamic rock-typing of reservoir rock. This project aims to develop a robust classification method for reservoir rock incorporating static, dynamic and mechanical attributes via multiscale digital core analysis using the concept of regional measures. Rock-types are used to populate reservoir models in a sophisticated routine of geological classification, spatial modelling and uncertainty analysis. Introducing high-resolution rock-types incorporating hydraulic properties and compaction allows the development of a new generation of reservoir simulators. The project aims to derive a consistent high-resolution definition of rock-types incorporating compaction for petrophysical, geological and reservoir engineering purposes. This would greatly enhance our capacity to develop thinly layered reservoirs with direct applications in 4-D seismic reservoir characterisation and the development of unconventional reservoirs.Read moreRead less
Operator algebras as models for dynamics and geometry. Operator algebra is the mathematical theory which describes quantum physics and predicts how quantum systems will behave. Through this project, the researcher's recent discoveries in operator algebra will give us new insight into the dynamics and geometry - that is, the behaviour and shape - of the quantum world.
Singular phenomena for nonlinear partial differential equations arising in applications. The development of nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) in Australia is recognized worldwide through the outstanding contributions of mathematicians from the ANU, University of Sydney and other top Australian Universities.

Invariants for dynamics via operator algebras. Dynamics is the study of how the universe changes with time. At the quantum level, dynamics is highly unintuitive, and the sophisticated techniques of operator algebras are needed to describe it. This project will perfect new operator-algebraic tools to extract valuable new information about the behaviour of dynamical systems.
Harmonic analysis of rough oscillations. This project intends to explore new perspectives in harmonic analysis. Harmonic analysis is a set of mathematical techniques used in many branches of science and engineering to analyse complex signals (functions). It is highly effective in modelling phenomena such as the propagation of electromagnetic waves, but it is currently limited to propagation occurring in a simple-enough medium. An intense international research effort in harmonic analysis is curr ....Harmonic analysis of rough oscillations. This project intends to explore new perspectives in harmonic analysis. Harmonic analysis is a set of mathematical techniques used in many branches of science and engineering to analyse complex signals (functions). It is highly effective in modelling phenomena such as the propagation of electromagnetic waves, but it is currently limited to propagation occurring in a simple-enough medium. An intense international research effort in harmonic analysis is currently under way to lift this limitation. This project is part of that effort, and aims to unite two of its fundamental directions of development: one focusing on the roughness of the medium; and one focusing on the interaction between highly oscillatory aspects of the function and the geometry of the medium.Read moreRead less
