Computational design for engineering micro/nanotopography. Micro/nanotopography and associated characteristics has major influences in several emerging areas of environmental, biomedical and energy engineering. This project will develop a new computational framework for topographical design and fabrication. It will create new research opportunities and technological innovation for the future development.
Investigation of the coupled dependence of concentrated solar radiation and combustion in a novel solar hybrid technology. The project will develop the models necessary for the optimisation of a novel solar-combustion hybrid technology and a novel heat exchanger component. It will deliver a solar thermal technology that lowers the cost of solar energy with immediate potential in off-grid sites, such as in remote mines, in Australia and throughout the world.
