Opening a New Era of High-Performance Microwave Devices. We propose a conceptually new method of manufacturing high-performance microwave components at the low-cost and short lead time using liquid form conductors and 3D printing technology. Innovation consists in developing surface roughness free waveguide- and coaxial-based RF and microwave devices, in one-single-piece. This technique can be further extended to create high-performance reconfigurable RF and microwave devices such as filters, an ....Opening a New Era of High-Performance Microwave Devices. We propose a conceptually new method of manufacturing high-performance microwave components at the low-cost and short lead time using liquid form conductors and 3D printing technology. Innovation consists in developing surface roughness free waveguide- and coaxial-based RF and microwave devices, in one-single-piece. This technique can be further extended to create high-performance reconfigurable RF and microwave devices such as filters, antennas, directional couplers, phase shifters and switches by manipulating the locations of the liquid conductors. Furthermore, the method will enable the management of heat generated in high-power applications. Australian telecommunication industry and defence will benefit from the outcome of this project.Read moreRead less
Low-energy electro-photonics: novel materials, devices and systems. This project aims to develop low-power technologies for programming and tuning photonic integrated circuits (PICs). By replacing thermal tuning, the project will reduce power consumption from watts to milliwatts, which also eliminates the thermal crosstalk that limits the complexity of today's PICs. The expected outcome will be the basis for a generic field-programmable photonic chip, which can be used to rapidly prototype desig ....Low-energy electro-photonics: novel materials, devices and systems. This project aims to develop low-power technologies for programming and tuning photonic integrated circuits (PICs). By replacing thermal tuning, the project will reduce power consumption from watts to milliwatts, which also eliminates the thermal crosstalk that limits the complexity of today's PICs. The expected outcome will be the basis for a generic field-programmable photonic chip, which can be used to rapidly prototype designs for production as full custom chips as part of a new Australian industry capability. The expected benefits will be a faster innovation cycle, greater adoption of photonic technologies, and support of research into, for example, neuromorphic optical processing, and advanced communications and sensing systems.Read moreRead less
Terabit mm-Wave Backbones for Integrated Space and Terrestrial Networks. This project aims to develop the theory and enabling techniques to achieve high-speed millimeter wave (mm-wave) backbones for integrated space and terrestrial networks. New scientific breakthroughs will be in fundamental transmission theory, efficient self-interference cancellation and spatial multiplexing techniques using hybrid antenna arrays. These will enable Terabits per second wireless transmission that is 10 times fa ....Terabit mm-Wave Backbones for Integrated Space and Terrestrial Networks. This project aims to develop the theory and enabling techniques to achieve high-speed millimeter wave (mm-wave) backbones for integrated space and terrestrial networks. New scientific breakthroughs will be in fundamental transmission theory, efficient self-interference cancellation and spatial multiplexing techniques using hybrid antenna arrays. These will enable Terabits per second wireless transmission that is 10 times faster than current technologies. A proof-of-concept prototype will be developed to demonstrate the feasibility and performance of the new system architecture and algorithms, thus paving the way for commercialisation. The developed technology will enhance Australia’s information infrastructure as well as defence capacity.Read moreRead less

This project aims to propose novel privacy preserving schemes that can protect the privacy of individuals in the era of Internet of things and machine learning. In the recent years, most Australian organizations have been a target of privacy and cybersecurity attacks, affecting their data and network systems. The expected outcomes of this project are privacy preserving schemes that can prevent attackers from compromising the private information of individuals in IoT and machine learning services, and thus significantly improve the protection against cybersecurity attacks. Significant benefits in social wellbeing and security are expected for all industry, government, and service sectors that collect data about people.Read moreRead less
