This project aims to elucidate ultrasensitive mechanical and thermal sensing effects that are tens of thousands of times better than conventional sensing technologies. This is achieved through controlling interactions between photons and electrons at the interface of two semiconductors. Outcomes of this project include scientific breakthroughs that are expected to revolutionise and disrupt the established sensing technologies. Microscopic low power mechanical and thermal sensors with ultra-high sensitivity have great value to enhance safety, security, and productivity of industry and society. The project is expected to generate new knowledge and place Australia as the world leader in physical sensing and create a new industry.Read moreRead less

Summary
Multiphysics inertial microfluidics: from fundamentals to applications. Separation of particles and particularly cells is an indispensable process in disease diagnostics, chemical/biological assays and food/chemical industries. This project aims to study the interplay between inertial fluid flow, electricity, and magnetism in microscale for particle separation. The project is expected to establish the fundamental theory underpinning the development of the proposed advanced separation technology. ....Multiphysics inertial microfluidics: from fundamentals to applications.

A Novel Multilevel Modelling Framework to Design Diamond Nanothread Bundles. This project aims to develop a novel, computationally-based framework to optimally and efficiently design new fibre materials based on the diamond nanothreads synthesized by the PI in 2014. The CIs (and others) have demonstrated the tremendous promise these materials hold to replace common carbon fibres. The proposed framework will combine advanced computer modelling, statistical learning, genetic algorithm-based optima ....A Novel Multilevel Modelling Framework to Design Diamond Nanothread Bundles. This project aims to develop a novel, computationally-based framework to optimally and efficiently design new fibre materials based on the diamond nanothreads synthesized by the PI in 2014. The CIs (and others) have demonstrated the tremendous promise these materials hold to replace common carbon fibres. The proposed framework will combine advanced computer modelling, statistical learning, genetic algorithm-based optimal design and experimental validations. It will accelerate the design of these new carbon-based fibres as game-changing materials in a wide range of areas. Ultimately this project has the potential to deliver significant economic benefits and will place Australia at the forefront of the industrial revolution of the future.Read moreRead less
