Diagnosis of Reference Flow Control Alerts for the Identification of Malicious Event Sequences (DiagRF). There are a reported two billion computer attacks worldwide per year. Many of these attacks require a skilled human to decipher them and to develop the "signatures" by which they can be detected.

There are a reported two billion computer attacks worldwide per year. Many of these attacks require a skilled human to decipher them and to develop the "signatures" by which they can be detected. The main outcome of this project will be fundamental knowledge regarding how information flows can be tracked and then forensically analysed in a distributed computer system or network in order to enable the automatic characterization of certain classes of attacks. This new approach will enable the automatic development of attack signatures and thus the detection of such attacks. The project will lead to the development of a prototype which implements the automatic analysis and characterization of such attacks to provide proof of concept.Read moreRead less
Nano-structured sol-gels synthesised under microgravity conditions. This project aims to study the nano-structured silica formation under microgravity conditions using a sol-gel process. In the absence of gravitional forces and associated free convective disturbances, the sol reaction in our preliminary testing with NASA has revealed fundamental reorganisation in nano properties (i.e. fractal dimension, pore size, surface area and pore volume) as compared to tests carried out under normal gravi ....Nano-structured sol-gels synthesised under microgravity conditions. This project aims to study the nano-structured silica formation under microgravity conditions using a sol-gel process. In the absence of gravitional forces and associated free convective disturbances, the sol reaction in our preliminary testing with NASA has revealed fundamental reorganisation in nano properties (i.e. fractal dimension, pore size, surface area and pore volume) as compared to tests carried out under normal gravity conditions. This is a key feature of scientific interest for the production of nanomaterials for applications such as linear and non-linear optical materials and quantum materials.Read moreRead less

The use of aluminium alloys in automotive and aerospace industry is growing across the world. In order to improve the use of aluminium alloy in various industries, the welding process for aluminium need to be improved. The objective of this research is to develop an intelligent controller for welding power source, which is capable of selecting process parameters automatically for varying pulse conditions in welding of aluminium alloys. The fundamental understanding about development of proposed intelligent system with smart controller for uniform metal transfer will create global interest across the welding industry and will create a new market potential throughout world where use of aluminium as a base material is growing.Read moreRead less
The fundamental structure of combinatorial configurations. Combinatorial configurations are fundamental mathematical tools used to model physical problems in the information sciences. Combinatorial trades arise from the differences between combinatorial configurations. They uniquely determine the underlying structure of the configuration and are central to the determination of defining sets. With this proposal we shall study the existence, properties and applications of combinatorial trades and ....The fundamental structure of combinatorial configurations. Combinatorial configurations are fundamental mathematical tools used to model physical problems in the information sciences. Combinatorial trades arise from the differences between combinatorial configurations. They uniquely determine the underlying structure of the configuration and are central to the determination of defining sets. With this proposal we shall study the existence, properties and applications of combinatorial trades and the associated defining sets. Our results will have applications in the areas of biotechnology, information systems, information security and experimental design.Read moreRead less
