Real-Time Electromagnetic-wave Engineering for Advanced Wireless Systems. This project aims to enable and accelerate the development and deployment of next generation high-speed wireless networks, particularly in high network density areas. It aims to apply real-time electromagnetic signal processing engineering to achieve all-analog mm-wave radio systems for ultrafast wireless systems. Next-generation wireless networks will need to support a 1000-fold increase in data capacity. The mere evoluti ....Real-Time Electromagnetic-wave Engineering for Advanced Wireless Systems. This project aims to enable and accelerate the development and deployment of next generation high-speed wireless networks, particularly in high network density areas. It aims to apply real-time electromagnetic signal processing engineering to achieve all-analog mm-wave radio systems for ultrafast wireless systems. Next-generation wireless networks will need to support a 1000-fold increase in data capacity. The mere evolution of current digital based mobile technologies will be largely insufficient to meet the anticipated demands, and in light of rapid transitions towards mm-wave domain, new disruptive technological solutions are needed. This project aims to provide these new technological devices and systems for the faster deployment of future wireless networks in Australia.Read moreRead less

This project aims to examine the opportunities, risks and consequences of the Internet of Things (IoT) and establish ways to foster technological leadership while ensuring responsible deployment. This project explores the immense potential that the Internet of Things offers for Australia – the productivity and safety of our industries, the efficiency and impact of services, and our ability to contribute skilled jobs to the growing global digital economy. These analyses will clarify the economic, social and cultural perspectives of deployment and establish a set of key findings to guide policy making over the next decade.Read moreRead less
Optical phased array for space debris tracking and manoeuvring. Space junk in low Earth orbit is increasing at an alarming rate, jeopardising our access to critical navigation, communications, weather and natural disaster warning services. This project will prevent collisions of debris with satellites by developing a new laser system called an optical phased array to track and remotely manoeuvre space debris.
Enabling Disability? Autonomous Technologies & CaLD persons with disability. Over 1 million disabled Australians are from culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) communities, the majority of whom are ineligible for disability and multicultural services. CaLD persons with disability significantly rely on digital information systems, devices and platforms to secure their economic, social and cultural inclusion.

Over 1 million disabled Australians are from culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) communities, the majority of whom are ineligible for disability and multicultural services. CaLD persons with disability significantly rely on digital information systems, devices and platforms to secure their economic, social and cultural inclusion. Evidence to date documents the continual exclusionary impact of artificial intelligence (AI) behind such technologies in addition to its inaccessibility to complex end-users. Yet, AI is now central to socio-economic well being and inclusion. In partnership with community and industry, this project will inform future AI developments and policy increasing its adaptability, accessibility and affordability.

This project aims to examine the increasingly pervasive role of location metadata, or geodata, in Australian smartphone practices and cultures and the implications this has for users, industry, and public administration. The project will deliver online and open resources to enhance public understanding of geodata and geoprivacy, as well as industry and policy recommendations that address the crucial issue of ‘location awareness’ in everyday digital media use. The project will generate new insights into the critical role of geodata in everyday digital media use and will contribute to broader public discussion about data privacy, surveillance and cybersecurity. Its findings will also provide industry benefits, enhancing developers’ understanding of how everyday users apprehend and negotiate the privacy implications of location services.Read moreRead less
