国产探花

Fifteen University of Queensland researchers have been awarded $15.3 million through the Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellowships 2024 scheme to drive research and innovation.

The scheme supports mid-career researchers to undertake projects across government priority areas including energy, health, cybersecurity and advanced manufacturing.

国产探花 researchers were the most awarded nationally for projects including battery advancement to meet clean energy targets, vaccine development to protect livestock against mosquito-borne diseases, and discoveries in superfluid helium – the only quantum liquid. 

国产探花 recipients of the ARC Future Fellowships 2024:

• - developing sensors to probe superfluid helium - a quantum fluid with zero viscosity – to improve understanding of fluid dynamics and turbulence.
• - understanding the impact of working hours on life satisfaction to inform more sustainable work practices.
• Professor Zhifeng Bao - developing an automated data orchestration system to reduce the time, money and energy required to train a high-performing machine learning model.
• - Investigating how coral reef fish adapt their vision to improve their survival in response to reef degradation and light pollution.
• - managing bias in data and artificial intelligence (AI) to empower end-users and accelerate investment in responsible AI.
• - understanding the neurophysiology of executive function to form a greater understanding of the brain to enhance human performance.
• - assessing how poverty is impacted by access to, and availability, stability and utilisation of minerals, to improve measurement tools, policies and programs
• - developing a novel platform to diagnose and treat alphaviral pathogens such as Ross River virus in livestock.
• - advancing high-capacity rechargeable aluminum batteries to support local manufacturing and meet clean energy targets.
• - understanding how natural immune signalling can indicate birds’ susceptibility to viruses.
• - addressing questions about solutions to Einstein’s equations, including the theory of general relativity, to advance understanding of geometry.
• - assessing how fundamental cell mechanisms that build and destroy bone have responded to social changes over the last millennium to aid national assessment of incidences of bone diseases.
• - researching brain circuit formation in mammals to understand early brain formation and manipulate brain wiring.
• - developing mathematical tools to better understand how environment changes affect the transient and long-term behaviour of systems influenced by noisy inputs and external forces.  
• - developing methods to allow study of atomic structures in crystals too small or complex for existing techniques, for materials science, structural biology and chemistry, sustainable energy and drug discovery.

The scheme is part of the ARC’s Discovery Program which aims to help grow Australia’s research and innovation capacity to result in knowledge and economic benefits for Australia.
