The project falls within the National Research Priority of 'Safeguarding Australia' and associated research priority goal of 'Transforming Defence Technology'. The project outcomes will provide cutting edge technology in surveillance, and monitoring of potential threat in our air, sea, and land space. Fast, reliable information enable our personnel to make timely, intelligent judgements, and appropriate responses in the event of a threat, thereby maintaining Australia's operational advantage. Other application areas that benefits from our research include radar, sonar, guidance, navigation, air traffic control, image processing, oceanography, autonomous vehicles and robotics, remote sensing, and biomedical research.

Application areas that benefits from our research include aerospace applications such as radar, sonar, guidance, navigation, and air traffic control and non-aerospace areas such as image processing, oceanography autonomous vehicles and robotics, remote sensing, and biomedical research. The sensor network discipline also stand to benefit from the understanding of multi-object system and control framework. Read moreRead less
Using Mathematics to Maximize the Value of Open-Pit Mines. Mineral resources are one of Australia's greatest assets. Their effective management will bring substantial long-term benefits to the Australian economy. Planning the exploitation of a mineral resource is a highly complex task. Current methods are approximate, and do not fully consider two critical issues: (1) ore mined at different times must be blended to achieve saleable product and (2) resource markets may not evolve as predicted ....Using Mathematics to Maximize the Value of Open-Pit Mines. Mineral resources are one of Australia's greatest assets. Their effective management will bring substantial long-term benefits to the Australian economy. Planning the exploitation of a mineral resource is a highly complex task. Current methods are approximate, and do not fully consider two critical issues: (1) ore mined at different times must be blended to achieve saleable product and (2) resource markets may not evolve as predicted. In this project we shall develop creative mathematical solutions to maximise the expected net present value of mines with far greater accuracy, taking into account blending and the uncertain nature of future demand.Read moreRead less
Multi-scale modelling of cell migration in developmental biology. Interpretative and predictive tools are needed for the comprehensive understanding of directed cell migration in the medical sciences. Mathematical models and modelling methodologies developed in this project will make a significant contribution to the investigation of cell migration and the testing and generation of hypotheses.

Interpretative and predictive tools are needed for the comprehensive understanding of directed cell migration in the medical sciences. Mathematical models and modelling methodologies developed in this project will make a significant contribution to the investigation of cell migration and the testing and generation of hypotheses. Such models are needed to understand observed cellular patterns. This project will contribute to knowledge of normal and abnormal developmental processes, especially in embryonic growth. Understanding these processes should lead to prediction and treatment of congenital disorders and contribute to a healthy start to life.Read moreRead less
Stochastic modelling of telomere length regulation in ageing research. This project will design innovative stochastic models to explore the molecular mechanisms governing telomere length regulation and their critical roles in determining cell fate. Computer simulations will provide testable predictions regarding the crucial functions of noise in generating the heterogeneity of telomere length.

Summary
Geometry and Conditioning in Structured Conic Problems. Conic programming allows one to model and solve large industrial problems via modern optimisation methods, such as interior-point algorithms. These methods are efficient and reliable in solving a vast number of problems, however, they fail on a relatively small but significant set of ill-posed instances, thus affecting the overall reliability of the technique. The reason for such behaviour is profound and constitutes one of the major unsolv ....Geometry and Conditioning in Structured Conic Problems. Conic programming allows one to model and solve large industrial problems via modern optimisation methods, such as interior-point algorithms. These methods are efficient and reliable in solving a vast number of problems, however, they fail on a relatively small but significant set of ill-posed instances, thus affecting the overall reliability of the technique. The reason for such behaviour is profound and constitutes one of the major unsolved problems in real complexity: there is no known algorithm that solves conic problems with real data in polynomial time. The project aims to develop a deep understanding of the geometry of conic problems, aiming for the resolution of this fundamental problem in computational theory.Read moreRead less
