Jason is part of the Applied and Industrial Mathematics Group and the Computational Science Initiative. He is currently Lead Chief Investigator on two ARC Discovery Indigenous Projects and Project Leader for the Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC's 'Spot Fire' Project. These projects all consider various aspects of extreme and dynamic bushfire propagation, the development of large conflagrations and bushfire risk management.

For Future Research Students: Ph.D. scholarships are available for high achieving students (with H1 /High Distinction in UG and Masters by Research) in Applied Mathematics, Combustion and Bushfire Dynamics under my supervision. If you are interested contact me at j.sharples@adfa.edu.au.
