Curating Cities: The Social and Ecological Potential of Public Art Practice
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?
iNvestigate: online patient simulations for education in the rational use of investigations.
This project focuses on requesters of Pathology investigations. Initially, it was primarily aimed at doctors undertaking prevocational training years, but it is now being extended to general practice registrars and advanced trainees in respiratory medicine.

Rationale / Background
Cancer epidemiology in high-risk populations and complex cancers.
My research program aims to better understand the causes of cancer and factors that influence outcomes after cancer diagnosis.
Vanadium Redox Battery
UNSW has been at the forefront of vanadium redox flow battery technology since the invention of the first all-vanadium redox flow cell by Professor Maria Skyllas-Kazacos and co-workers in 1985.
Roof-mounted CST System for distribute generation of heating, cooling and electricity.
The aim of the project is to develop and commercialise an improved roof-mounted hybrid solar concentrator PV/thermal (CPVT) product for the cost-effective delivery of solar hea
Does obesity have the characteristics of addiction?
The number of overweight or obese people in Australia has increased dramatically in recent years, increasing disease risk. The brain responds to palatable food in ways similar to the response to drugs of addiction, and this may explain why people find it hard to resist palatable food.
The contribution of subunit interfaces to receptor activation in ligand gated ion channels
This project seeks to provide insights into new mechanisms that could be used to enhance or inhibit neuronal signalling. The family of pentameric neurotransmitter receptors that are key components in the process of neuronal signalling and are the target of this study.

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.
Immigration Restriction and the Racial State, c. 1880 to the present
This is a four-year Australian Research Council Discovery Grant which examines the history of medico-legal border control in the Asia-Pacific region.
Legal Culture, Work Stress and Professional Practice: A Study of Australian Lawyers
A number of recent surveys have highlighted the prevalence of mental health and wellbeing issues among Australian lawyers. This project will be the first systematic empirical research on the culture and practice of Australian lawyers.
Chronic pain in an animal model of multiple sclerosis
Chronic pain is a common debilitating symptom affecting between 50% and 80% of MS patients. However, despite its widespread occurrence, chronic pain is a rarely studied symptom of this disease.
Gtf2ird1 and the molecular and cellular basis of human behaviour
Williams-Beuren Syndrome (WBS) is a neurdevelopmental genetic disorder characterized by specific cognitive and behavioural defects resulting in a unique debilitating personality profile.
The genetic control of skin proliferation in the face
The human face is a highly complex structure and the finished physiognomy and skin surface is of deep social and psychological significance because so much of human social behaviour is focused on facial recognition, the language of facial expression and the subjective perception of facial beauty.
The role of epigenetic modifications in longterm memory of irradiation in cancer survivors
Improvements in childhood cancer treatments have lead to a survival rate of more than 80%, but 2/3 of the survivors further develop at least one severe complication, notably metabolic disorders. Radiation therapy seems to be the most prominent risk factor.

We are an interdisciplinary group interested in understanding how viruses evolve under the host immune response.
We take advantage of next generation sequencing technologies to study viral populations including low frequency variants.
Computational models to study the immune response against viral infections
Project 1: Mathematical modelling of T cell trafficking in the liver
This project aims to design a mathematical model to study the trafficking of CD8 T cells in the full body of mice in the absence or presence of antigen.
