Power systems with diverse generation - implications, control and capability. This research will generate a systematic methodology to handle the impact of the renewable energy sources on the NSW power grid. It increases our understanding of the impact of climate change policies relating to mandatory targets for greenhouse gas reduction helping to build Australia’s research capacity in the national priority area of an environmentally sustainable Australia.

This research will generate a systematic methodology to handle the impact of the renewable energy sources on the NSW power grid. It increases our understanding of the impact of climate change policies relating to mandatory targets for greenhouse gas reduction helping to build Australia’s research capacity in the national priority area of an environmentally sustainable Australia. The anticipated methodology can also be seen as protecting the security of power infrastructure as well. Maintaining a critical energy infrastructure protects our way of life and ensures ongoing social, economic and environmental well being of Australia.Read moreRead less
Modelling, forecasting, and control for econometrics based on generalized dynamic factor models: a system theoretic approach. The project will provide a tool that will assist organizations wishing to understand the dynamics of a national economy to model it, and to forecast future econometric time series values. Such ability will provide another tool to econometric managers, including the Reserve Bank , Treasury and fund managers, that should benefit the Australian nation.
Singular phenomena for nonlinear partial differential equations arising in applications. The development of nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) in Australia is recognized worldwide through the outstanding contributions of mathematicians from the ANU, University of Sydney and other top Australian Universities. This project undertakes research in the PDEs field and follows directions of very current interest at an international level. Beyond the ANU, the project will enhance expertise ....Singular phenomena for nonlinear partial differential equations arising in applications. The development of nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) in Australia is recognized worldwide through the outstanding contributions of mathematicians from the ANU, University of Sydney and other top Australian Universities. This project undertakes research in the PDEs field and follows directions of very current interest at an international level. Beyond the ANU, the project will enhance expertise in Australia in very active areas of mathematics research related to applications in physics, biology and other applied disciplines. Moreover, it will foster collaboration with mathematicians of international standing from Australia and abroad. Read moreRead less
Increasing internet energy and cost efficiency by improving higher-layer protocols. Australians rely heavily on our telecommunications infrastructure due to our geographic dispersion. We are also very susceptible to climate change, given our reliance on agriculture. Information technology is consuming a rapidly increasing fraction of our power and our budget. This research will help to reverse both those trends, by finding novel and practical ways to use our infrastructure more efficiently, and ....Increasing internet energy and cost efficiency by improving higher-layer protocols. Australians rely heavily on our telecommunications infrastructure due to our geographic dispersion. We are also very susceptible to climate change, given our reliance on agriculture. Information technology is consuming a rapidly increasing fraction of our power and our budget. This research will help to reverse both those trends, by finding novel and practical ways to use our infrastructure more efficiently, and to minimise its energy use. This will enable the Australian telecommunications industry to provide better service (including to Australian industries and rural communities) at lower economic and environmental cost. This project will put Australia on the international stage as a leading contributor to energy-efficient internet technology.Read moreRead less
COMPLEX NETWORKS: DYNAMICS, OPTIMIZATION AND CONTROL. Complex networks such large power grids, the Internet, transportation networks and co-operation networks of all kinds provide challenges for frontier technologies particularly computing, communication and control. In particular, advanced societies have become dependent on large infrastructure networks to an extent beyond our capability to plan and control them. The recent spate of collapses in power grids and virus attacks on the Internet i ....COMPLEX NETWORKS: DYNAMICS, OPTIMIZATION AND CONTROL. Complex networks such large power grids, the Internet, transportation networks and co-operation networks of all kinds provide challenges for frontier technologies particularly computing, communication and control. In particular, advanced societies have become dependent on large infrastructure networks to an extent beyond our capability to plan and control them. The recent spate of collapses in power grids and virus attacks on the Internet illustrate the need for research on modelling, analysis of behaviour, planning and control in such networks. This project aims to establish research in this area for Australia's benefit.Read moreRead less
Dynamics and Security Control of Complex Networks. The research will yield basic techniques to analyse, design and operate complex networks so that security, as well as performance, is achieved. These techniques will be further developed towards particular applications including power grids and telecommunication networks. However, the emphasis is on providing basic ideas and techniques.

The Evolution of stripe rust virulence. Fungal crop pathogen epidemics lead to severe yield losses worldwide, impact national economies and individual human lives. Wheat stripe rust fungal epidemics caused by new virulent races can lead to 80 per cent reduction in yield. This project aims to investigate the molecular mechanisms leading to newly virulent races by whole genome, epigenome and transcriptome comparison of several wheat stripe rust races. This project aims to fundamentally advance our ....The Evolution of stripe rust virulence. Fungal crop pathogen epidemics lead to severe yield losses worldwide, impact national economies and individual human lives. Wheat stripe rust fungal epidemics caused by new virulent races can lead to 80 per cent reduction in yield. This project aims to investigate the molecular mechanisms leading to newly virulent races by whole genome, epigenome and transcriptome comparison of several wheat stripe rust races. This project aims to fundamentally advance our understanding of evolutionary forces driving virulence and specification at the whole (epi-)genome level in important fungal crop pathogens. This will promote new crop protection strategies important for local and global food security in an ever-changing environment.Read moreRead less

Propagation of singularities for the Schrodinger equation. The time-dependent Schrodinger equation governs the evolution of quantum particles. In this project we aim to use new techniques from mathematical scattering theory to analyse solutions of the Schrodinger equation and obtain sharp bounds on their singularities. Controlling such singularities will allow us to deduce quantitative bounds on the number of eigenvalues in certain situations, and provide new techniques for studying nonlinear Sc ....Propagation of singularities for the Schrodinger equation.
