In Australia and among international researchers in smoking cessation, Robyn Richmond is among the very few who have been conducting research in general practice for almost four decades. Her work has resulted in significant changes in the practice of medicine where GPs now are trained in, and implement, smoking cessation interventions with their patients.
Population-level relevance of risk factors for cancer

Field of Research (FoR):
SEO tags:

We are estimating and comparing the population-level relevance of risk factors for cancer in Australia by applying our recently published PAF measure and program to data from established large-scale Australian cohort studies linked to national cancer and death registries (relative risk estimates)
Hypersonic Fluid-Structural Interaction


This research aims to fill a significant gap in the current modelling of critical fluid-structural interactions in high-speed flows by performing novel experiments to generate data that does not currently exist. This data is being used to assess and improve advanced numerical simulation tools.
Biomechanics of Damage to the Optic Nerve


UNSW Canberra is investigating the role mechanical compression of the optic chiasm plays in visual afflictions (Wang et al. 2014a). The nerves carrying optical information from both eyes all pass through this small soft-tissue structure inside the skull.
