Australian federalism needs urgent repair. Over 107 years it has become a costly and inefficient means of governance. This project will produce a framework against which proposals for the reform of our federal system can be judged.

This project will contribute to the national priority goal of 'strengthening Australia's social and economic fabric to help families and individuals live healthy, productive, and fulfilling lives', within the National Research Priority of 'promoting good health and well being for all Australians'

Research project seeking students: Stents are mesh-wired scaffolds implanted into narrowed arteries to prevent heart attacks and strokes. They still fail in 1 in 10 patients, despite being the most common treatment for the leading cause of death worldwide. 

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a major cause of illness and premature adult mortality (diseas burden) in many Pacific Island Countries (PICs).

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.

The project aims to revise our understanding of how migrants integrated into post-war Australia by examining everyday life histories as mediated through individual and social memory.

This project evaluates the means and benefits of leveraging the arts to address the challenge of eco-sustainability. Ecological art practice is emerging globally but how and under what conditions does it positively transform environments, behaviour or patterns of consumption?

This proposal seeks to establish state-of-the-art, high-speed laser diagnostics facilities that provide Australian researchers with unique capabilities to make real-time and space-resolved measurements of reactive species and polluting particles in combustion systems.

Funded by an Australian Research Council ARC Discovery grant, this project establishes the significance and value of art concerned with social and political events, providing the first comprehensive analysis of the treatment of real events in art since the watershed of September 11, 2001.

This research will investigate the contribution to the burden of infectious diseases in Australia from travel by migrant Australians who visit friends and relatives in their country of birth.

In 1951 the US Public Health Service declared obesity, newly reinterpreted as an addictive disorder, to be the nation’s leading health problem.

In the 1980s many scientists joined commercial genetic engineering ventures.

The principal goal in controlling rotary blood pumps used as ventricular assist devices in heart failure patients is to mimic the natural heart behaviour so that the body's metabolic requirements are met while avoiding harmful states associated with over and under pumping.
