This project aims to create new biophysical tools for single-molecule sensing by advancing the state-of-the-art in nanoscale bioelectronic devices.

This project aims to develop a new generation of nanoscale InAs/GaSb devices produced ‘from the bottom up’ using state-of-the-art 3D templated semiconductor growth methods. This material’s key feature is a pair of electron and hole layers separated by a few nanometers.

Bioelectronics is a frontier field which aims to connect biological systems with modern electronics and so create the next generation of biomedical devices. A key challenge in bioelectronics is transducing ion and electron signals using some form of biocompatible functional interface.

Dr Matt Baker's research group in the School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Science (BABS) currently focuses on two streams of research:

The AEBC is based at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and is jointly run by the Nanyang and Environmental Water Research Institute (NEWRI) at NTU and CMB at UNSW.

Self-assembled gels are a new class of materials that have been shown to have applications in tissue engineering and drug delivery.

We have recently built the first protein 'methylation network' for any species. This project will study the dynamics of this network during the cell cycle and will identify protein complexes which have methylation-associated interactions.

The project will develop a robust approach to use maximum entropy methods to model likelihood functions for a Bayesian analysis of chemical data.

The Australian mining and minerals processing industries generated exports of around $56 billion in 2004/5, representing approximately 44 per cent of Australia?s total exports. Grinding is one of basic operations in minerals processing, liberating valuables from the host rock.

A research opportunity exists for undergraduate and higher degree research student in science and engineering to investigate the use of advanced nanomaterials for microalgae harvesting and processing at UNSW's School of Chemical Engineering.

The 'interactome', being the interactions of all proteins in the cell, has been intensively studied in yeast. However, we know very little about how the interactions of most proteins are regulated.

Novel waste recycling process will improve the efficiency of Electric Arc Furnace steelmaking, lowering costs and energy consumption, thereby enhancing the international competitiveness of Australian steelmaking industry.

Our advances will deliver the fundamental science that will enable the aluminium industry to consume substantial amounts of plastic waste, including plastics that are currently unsuitable for recycling.

The novel and recycled refractories developed will lead to reductions in waste generation through reduced wear, resulting in significant economic and environmental benefits.

 

Non-commutative algebra is a rich, classical subject, ubiquitous in mathematics, since non-commutative algebras arise whenever you have linear operators such as differentiation or rotation.

The purpose of this project is to develop greater understanding of the effect of centre-near multifocal soft contact lens designs on visual function.

Our aim is to mathematically model the impact a new cell-delivered anti-HIV gene therapy can have in suppressing HIV and in protecting the immune system from depletion. It is significant because for the first time
