Geological sequestration of carbon dioxide in deep saline aquifers: coupled flow-mechanical considerations. Deep saline aquifers have been routinely proposed as sites for long-term, large-scale storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, as an option to assist the abatement of global warming. This project investigates expected engineering behaviour of deep saline aquifer reservoirs and their stability following CO2 sequestration.

Summary
A comprehensive gas/vapour sorption facility for the fast advancement of decarbonised energy technologies. Solutions to clean energy production, storage and use are critical to Australia’s prosperity, yet there is a significant lack of targeted research facilities for the development of the highly needed materials and technologies for powering a sustainable Australia. This facility will bring research efforts closer to practical solutions.

This project aims to develop an intelligent systematic framework to predict policy impacts on Australian patients, by discovering inherent patient cohorts and assessing the impact of the policies on these cohorts. The proposed methods lay the theoretical foundations for building intelligent automated tools for policy assessment. Expected outcomes are data-driven patient group discovery, which could more precisely identify the patient cohorts most likely to benefit from a specific policy; and a model to predict the efficacy of policy options, which could increase the sustainability of the national health system by enabling smarter, more efficient policy decision-making.Read moreRead less
Privacy-preserving cloud data mining-as-a-service. This project aims to explore practical privacy-preserving solutions for cloud data mining-as-a-service based on the Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX) technology. The research addresses privacy concerns of users when outsourcing data mining needs to the cloud. These concerns have increased as more businesses evaluate data mining-as-an outsourced service due to lack of expertise or computation resources. The expected outcomes from the research ....Privacy-preserving cloud data mining-as-a-service. This project aims to explore practical privacy-preserving solutions for cloud data mining-as-a-service based on the Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX) technology. The research addresses privacy concerns of users when outsourcing data mining needs to the cloud. These concerns have increased as more businesses evaluate data mining-as-an outsourced service due to lack of expertise or computation resources. The expected outcomes from the research will include new data privacy models, new privacy-preserving data mining algorithms, and a prototype of cloud data mining software. These will help businesses cut costs for data mining and privacy protection, and provide significant benefits toward helping Australia achieve its national cyber security strategy and potentially provide economic impact from commercialisation of new software technology for the industry partner.Read moreRead less
Asymptotic Geometric Analysis and Machine Learning. Phenomena in large dimensions appear in a number of domains of Mathematics and adjacent domains of science (e.g. Computer Science), dealing with functions of infinitely growing number of parameters. Here, we focus on several questions naturally linked to Asymptotic Geometric Analysis which have natural applications to Statistical Learning Theory. We intend to use geometric, probabilistic and combinatorial methods to investigate these problems, ....Asymptotic Geometric Analysis and Machine Learning.

Geometric parameters in Learning Theory. We aim to investigate the behaviour of geometric parameters which appear naturally in Statistical Learning Theory. Those parameters are used to control the sample complexity, which is the size of a random sample needed to produce an accurate prediction. They are also of independent interest in the local theory of Banach spaces. We shall use geometric methods originating in the local theory of Banach spaces to investigate the parameters and the way they in ....Geometric parameters in Learning Theory. We aim to investigate the behaviour of geometric parameters which appear naturally in Statistical Learning Theory.

They are also of independent interest in the local theory of Banach spaces. We shall use geometric methods originating in the local theory of Banach spaces to investigate the parameters and the way they influence sample complexity. All the problems we focus on are not only important from the Machine Learning point of view, but are intriguing in their theoretical implications.Read moreRead less
