Summary
Bridging the gap between rockfall theory and engineering practice. Fragmentation is often observed post rockfall events and it is recognised as a critical aspect of adequate rockfall risk management. Yet, rockfall fragmentation is a complex phenomenon still poorly understood and not properly considered in engineering practice. This project aims at developing a theoretical and stochastic fragmentation framework, based on high-quality and comprehensive experimental data, in collaboration with lead ....Bridging the gap between rockfall theory and engineering practice. Fragmentation is often observed post rockfall events and it is recognised as a critical aspect of adequate rockfall risk management. Yet, rockfall fragmentation is a complex phenomenon still poorly understood and not properly considered in engineering practice. This project aims at developing a theoretical and stochastic fragmentation framework, based on high-quality and comprehensive experimental data, in collaboration with leading international industry partners that provide advanced geotechnical design tools to practitioners around the world. The outcomes of the project will bridge the gap between rockfall theory and engineering practice. It will allow for more cost-effective and safer design of rockfall protection structures.Read moreRead less

ARC Centre of Excellence in Quantum Biotechnology. The ARC Centre of Excellence in Quantum Biotechnology aims to develop paradigm-shifting quantum technologies to observe biological processes and transform our understanding of life. It seeks to create technologies that go far beyond what is possible today, from portable brain imagers to super-fast single protein sensors, and to use them to unravel key problems including how enzymes catalyse reactions and how higher brain function emerges from networks of neurons. By building a diverse, multidisciplinary, and industry-engaged ecosystem, the Centre means to develop our future leaders at the interface of quantum science and biology and drive Australian innovation across manufacturing, energy, agriculture, health, and national security.Read moreRead less
