Summary
Cardiometabolic diseases account for the major burden of morbidity and mortality for Indigenous populations. This study with 75 remote Indigenous communities will be the first to evaluate features of their social, built and physical environments in relation to cardiometabolic risks and diseases. Policy-relevant results will identify features of environments to be targeted to reduce chronic diseases for Indigenous peoples in remote communities.

Stabilisation of nonlinear quantum feedback control systems. One of the most exciting technological developments of this century promises to be the development of quantum technology. Quantum feedback systems will play a key part of this technology and this project will develop the underlying fundamental theory which will be crucial to the systematic design of quantum feedback control systems.
Coherent Feedback Synchronisation and Stabilisation of Quantum Systems. The aim of this project is to address a range of fundamental problems of stabilisation and coherent synchronisation in quantum feedback control systems, leading to new systematic methods of designing controllers for the interacting quantum systems arising in emerging areas of quantum technology. Quantum feedback control systems will be at the heart of emerging areas of quantum technology and stability is essential for their ....Coherent Feedback Synchronisation and Stabilisation of Quantum Systems. The aim of this project is to address a range of fundamental problems of stabilisation and coherent synchronisation in quantum feedback control systems, leading to new systematic methods of designing controllers for the interacting quantum systems arising in emerging areas of quantum technology. Quantum feedback control systems will be at the heart of emerging areas of quantum technology and stability is essential for their operation. Standard control system methods do not take into account the special features of quantum systems and there is a need for new control theories that deal with stabilisation and synchronisation as quantum technologies become more advanced.

Nonlinear models dominate the frontline of modern theoretical and applied mathematics. This project concerns contemporary variational problems with analysis linked strongly to the Monge-Ampere equation, which is a fully nonlinear partial differential equation. Its study in recent years has generated complex and deep theoretical issues along with a diverse range of applications. The proposal is divided into two themes, affine maximal surfaces (involving fourth order partial differential equations of Monge-Ampere type) and optimal transportation (where Monge-Ampere theory has been applied successfully in recent years). Each of these builds upon major recent research breakthroughs of the proposers.Read moreRead less

Analysis and applications of geometric evolution equations. This project will keep Australian research in geometric analysis at the leading edge of the field internationally. It will produce fundamental new insights in differential geometry and in the understanding of geometric partial differential equations, and will provide a rich and vigorous training ground for graduate and honours students.
Renewable energy generation from flow-induced vibration. Much engineering effort has been expended to eliminate vibration of marine structures. This project seeks to provide the basis for the development of tidal energy harnessing, by deliberately amplifying and harnessing vibration. This technology offers the promise of capturing clean, zero-emissions energy, while presenting no risk to marine life.
