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
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.

New Approaches to Understand How Form and Function Shape Complex Systems. As biology and medicine transform into quantitative sciences, existing mathematical methods are often inadequate to explain the data they generate. This project aims to unlock the potential of such biomedical data through the development of new mathematical approaches that combine concepts from pure and applied mathematics, statistics and data science, and then to investigate their ability to generate mechanistic insight i ....New Approaches to Understand How Form and Function Shape Complex Systems. As biology and medicine transform into quantitative sciences, existing mathematical methods are often inadequate to explain the data they generate. This project aims to unlock the potential of such biomedical data through the development of new mathematical approaches that combine concepts from pure and applied mathematics, statistics and data science, and then to investigate their ability to generate mechanistic insight into fundamental biomedical processes. In this way, the project expects to affect a paradigm shift in mathematical biology while strengthening Australia’s reputation as a world-leader in mathematical biology. An outcome from this project could be new mathematical models that guide decision making in the clinic.Read moreRead less

Summary
CellMaps for cell fate decision making systems. The cell is the fundamental unit exhibiting the hallmarks of life. The cell is also a fantastically intricate and complex system: its behaviour is shaped by molecular networks and processes that regulate cellular physiology, and the response of the cell to its environment. This Laureate Fellowship aims to describe and make sense of this complexity mathematically. At this sub-cellular level stochasticity and complex non-linear feedbacks are all perv ....CellMaps for cell fate decision making systems. The cell is the fundamental unit exhibiting the hallmarks of life. The cell is also a fantastically intricate and complex system: its behaviour is shaped by molecular networks and processes that regulate cellular physiology, and the response of the cell to its environment. This Laureate Fellowship aims to describe and make sense of this complexity mathematically. At this sub-cellular level stochasticity and complex non-linear feedbacks are all pervasive. Building on recent advances in mathematics, statistics, theoretical physics, and data science will result in mathematical models of cells, CellMaps, that will generate mechanistic insights into the fundamental dynamical processes underlying cell fate decision making and differentiation.

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

The research aims to analyse wave equations that model problems in optical media and waveguides, medical and seismic imaging, and nano-electronic devices. Outcomes and benefits are expected in new mathematical theory, Australian research capability, better algorithms for numerically computing waves, and technological advances in communications, medical imaging, and seismic imaging.Read moreRead less
