The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Summary
Nanostructured Silicon-Based Wearable and Implantable Biosensors. The aim is to gain a deep understanding of the interface between nanostructured-silicon-based nanomaterials and biological systems, to develop a new generation of biosensor technologies applied on and in the body. Using innovative nanofabrication techniques, the team will integrate porous silicon nanomaterials with highly controllable optical and electrochemical properties into wearable and implantable biosensors for detecting bio ....Nanostructured Silicon-Based Wearable and Implantable Biosensors. The aim is to gain a deep understanding of the interface between nanostructured-silicon-based nanomaterials and biological systems, to develop a new generation of biosensor technologies applied on and in the body. Using innovative nanofabrication techniques, the team will integrate porous silicon nanomaterials with highly controllable optical and electrochemical properties into wearable and implantable biosensors for detecting bioanalytes directly and continuously in interstitial fluid, sweat, and blood; critically, they will be capable of long-term monitoring. The outcomes are expected to enable development of downstream applications across medical diagnostics, sports sciences, workplace testing as well as defence and space technologies.Read moreRead less

Summary
Alloy alchemy: New paradigms in alloy science to promote a circular economy. Although metals are readily remelted and reused, Australia exports most of its alloy scrap. These exports represent an opportunity for Australia to create value on-shore via a supply source that is secure against disruption. The Laureate will promote new ways to tap into this resource. It will provide the science needed to disrupt the current advanced alloy recycling paradigm and open up new avenues to create high value ....Alloy alchemy: New paradigms in alloy science to promote a circular economy. Although metals are readily remelted and reused, Australia exports most of its alloy scrap. These exports represent an opportunity for Australia to create value on-shore via a supply source that is secure against disruption. The Laureate will promote new ways to tap into this resource. It will provide the science needed to disrupt the current advanced alloy recycling paradigm and open up new avenues to create high value alloys from intermingled metal stocks that are currently ‘down-cycled’ because they are too costly to separate. The Laureate will also pioneer a new additive manufacturing technology to convert metal scrap into high value components, saving up to 95% of the production energy used to create the virgin metal.Read moreRead less

Summary
My Air Space: the Science of Buildings that Make us Thrive. Nothing is more necessary in human life than the air we breathe, mostly indoors where air quality has been relatively overlooked. This project aims to deliver new science and technology as a foundation for optimising indoor atmospheres to improve health, wellbeing, and comfort. Expected outcomes include innovative, efficient, low-cost diagnostic sensing of indoor atmospheres and human–space interactions, real-time detection of airborne ....My Air Space: the Science of Buildings that Make us Thrive. Nothing is more necessary in human life than the air we breathe, mostly indoors where air quality has been relatively overlooked. This project aims to deliver new science and technology as a foundation for optimising indoor atmospheres to improve health, wellbeing, and comfort. Expected outcomes include innovative, efficient, low-cost diagnostic sensing of indoor atmospheres and human–space interactions, real-time detection of airborne pathogens and particles that host them, and cost-effective localised conditioning of spaces for comfort at points of actual use. Benefits should be seen in areas of health, productivity, reduced energy use, and new industries for the design, modernising, and operation of buildings across Australia and beyond.Read moreRead less

Summary
Turbulence: physical modelling and application to aquatic ecosystem functions. Turbulent fluid motions in aquatic systems are critical for many aspects of water health. This project will quantify the effects of these motions in an unprecedented way by addressing the long-standing problem of turbulence, and the outcomes will be applicable to the essential task of strengthening Australia’s water security.

Summary
New approaches for pest control and maintaining healthy environments under climate change. Natural environments are rapidly changing due to climate and human population pressure, affecting food supply and natural heritage. Insects and other invertebrates perform essential services like pollination, pest control and soil turnover, and provide food for wildlife. These services are under threat, and ways of maintaining them and protecting biodiversity need to be developed.

Natural environments are rapidly changing due to climate and human population pressure, affecting food supply and natural heritage. Insects and other invertebrates perform essential services like pollination, pest control and soil turnover, and provide food for wildlife. These services are under threat, and ways of maintaining them and protecting biodiversity need to be developed. This project will identify the genetic and evolutionary mechanisms that insects use to deal with environmental changes and the processes that promote evolutionary resilience to safeguard environmental services. This should lead to guidelines for sustainable agricultural production and biodiversity protection in threatened environments like the Australian Alps.Read moreRead less
