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.

Nature of defects in silicon for very high efficiency solar cells
Identification of novel biomarkers in exhaled breath of patients with respiratory disease
In patients with inflammatory diseases affecting the lungs, a variety of cytokines and mediators are present in the lining lining the airways. These biomarkers can provide a wealth of information about the disease including severity, activity and response to treatment.
Analysis of microRNA expression by nasal epithelial cells to predict which patients with COPD are likely to experience frequent exacerbations
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disabling respiratory condition which affects approximat
Soot-radiation interaction
Despite its many advantages and potential to be the dominant source of sustainable energy in the long term, the use of concentrated solar radiation (CSR) in thermal power generation remains costlier than many alternative energy sources.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides cover for Australians with a severe disability, and represents a transition to a new model and market for service delivery that will substantially change the nature, focus, and funding of disability support service delivery.
Sustainable Panel Materials for the Built Environment
These by-products have outstanding physical properties when compared with traditional particleboards. Mechanical properties are in average with traditional particle boards in the market. Formaldehyde emissions in all new panels are lower of what is expected in wood.
Award under the Research Centre Funding Scheme (EWI) to establish the Advanced Environmental Biotechnology Centre (AEBC)
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.
Mechanism of action of an anti-inflammatory compound which targets alternatively activated macrophages
Our laboratory has identified alternatively activated macrophages as cells that have a key role in acute allergic inflammation. This project focuses on the mechanism by which a novel anti-inflammatory compound suppresses the activity of these cells.
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.
