Origins of our Universe. The present proposal will study the origins of our Universe, which is one of the grand challenges of 21st century physics. As such it will utilise insights and discoveries in many areas of physics, ranging from string theory and particle physics at the highest energies, to x-ray, optical and radio astronomy. The research program will add to our understanding of a fundamental branch of science - extending it in new directions - thereby considerably boosting the quality of ....Origins of our Universe.

The research program will add to our understanding of a fundamental branch of science - extending it in new directions - thereby considerably boosting the quality of cosmology and theoretical physics research in Australia. In concert with our international collaborations, work arising from this fellowship will enhance the Australian presence on the international cosmology, astro-particle, and theoretical physics scene.

Virtual colliders: high-accuracy models for high energy physics. This project will create an advanced and general model of high-energy processes, focusing on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. New analytical and numerical solutions will be developed and combined to reach unprecedented accuracy and detail. This will clarify important phenomenological questions in the Standard Model and will enable more precise searches for deviations from it (new physics).

New analytical and numerical solutions will be developed and combined to reach unprecedented accuracy and detail. This will clarify important phenomenological questions in the Standard Model and will enable more precise searches for deviations from it (new physics). A publicly available numerical code will be produced, with a large number of applications. These include, for instance, precision extraction of fundamental parameters and improved absolute calibrations of experimental measurements, explicit theoretical modelling of new physics phenomena, and optimisation of detector design and analysis strategies.Read moreRead less

This project aims to develop technologies and techniques to detect dark matter. Particle physics research seeks to understand the universe at its most fundamental level. The Higgs boson discovery confirmed the Standard Model of particle physics, but many fundamental questions about the microscopic nature of the universe remain. The universe predominantly consists of dark matter, which the particles within the Standard Model do not explain. The Large Hadron Collider and Australia’s SABRE provide a huge opportunity to discover physics processes by enabling searches for new particles at the high-energy frontier and the direct detection of dark matter.Read moreRead less

The international collaborations that this project will build and maintain will help to improve access to, and utilisation of, multi-million dollar international satellite observatories by local observers.Read moreRead less
The origin and evolution of heavy elements in the early universe. Everything in our Solar System, including all life on Earth, was created long ago out of material forged inside fiery stellar furnaces. The latest theoretical simulations of element production in red giant stars reveals the processes that gave us our existence, as well as help us to understand the origin of the galaxy that we inhabit.
