Navigating Uncertainty & Evidence: Teaching for Epistemic Cognition. We are facing an epistemological crisis, grounded in changing technologies, fake news, and a distrust of experts. Developing capability to navigate uncertainty, disagreement, and evidence is one of the most pressing social issues of our time in order to develop a sustainable society, ensure inclusive and equitable quality education, and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. Despite relevant research, little is known about the crucial practices of educators in supporting learning towards these capabilities. This project will bring classroom practice and a practical theory of epistemic cognition into synchrony, developing new knowledge and strategies for students to learn how to navigate uncertainty, disagreement, and evidence..

Overcoming nonlinearity in short-reach optical communication. This project aims to investigate the equalization methods for nonlinear optical channels applicable to short-reach optical communications. This project expects to significantly improve the transmission capacity of the cost-effective directly detected transceivers. Expected outcomes of this project include advanced equalization techniques for nonlinear channels and associated signal processing algorithms. These advances will have the potential to provide an enabling technology for surging capacity demand from cloud computing and enhance Australia's standing as a leader in optical communications technology. .

High shear fluid flow driving carbon foundry for advanced manufacturing. This project aims to develop versatile continuous flow thin film microfluidic device technology for harnessing contact electrification generated by sub-micron high shear flows in fabricating novel and high-performance nano-carbons for which current methods are ineffective or impossible. This project expects to generate new knowledge on complex vortex fluid fields, their intricate interactions with external electric and magnetic fields and carbon nanostructure formation. Expected outcomes for this project include exquisite control on reforming nanocarbon with tuneable properties and unprecedented hetero-structures. This should provide significant benefits, such as in generating new processes and products for advanced manufacturing. . Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4018 - Nanotechnology.

Storying and repairing water places in Wiradjuri Country. This project will centre Aboriginal knowledges to story, care for and repair Wiradjuri Country around the Mudgee area, central west NSW. Sharing information is a key goal of this project. Wiradjuri people are keen to see their cultural, economic, social and environmental knowledge about Country recorded and shared for people in the Mudgee area and beyond. By documenting in story form the proposed on-Country Learning, this project can facilitate this process and serve as a pathway for other co-management contexts. At the heart of the project is on-Country Learning which will bring key collaborators, community members and local school students together on, and with, Country. . Scheme: Linkage Projects.

Development of rapid-response thermal batteries for the global market. In collaboration with Isothermix, this project aims to develop and commercialize cost-effective, rapid-response thermal batteries to meet the air conditioning peak demand of buildings. This project expects to generate new knowledge about the phase change materials which can be used to store thermal energy across a range of temperatures and the highly thermal conductive materials which can be used as a heat exchanger. Expected outcomes include the development of rapid response thermal batteries which can cool buildings across a range of temperatures and site conditions. This should provide significant benefits by reducing primary heating and cooling plant capacity and thereby our reliance on fossil fuels.. Scheme: Early Career Industry Fellowships.

Innovative Strategies for Crafting Precision Kinase Inhibitors. Protein kinases are key regulators of cellular signaling, playing a pivotal role in diverse biological processes. However, most protein kinase inhibitors target a common binding site, leading to undesired effects on other kinases. This project aims to create highly selective protein kinase inhibitors by using structural biology to pinpoint unique interactions in the peptide-binding site. Using medicinal chemistry, we will enhance kinase selectivity of existing potent but non-selective inhibitors, and will validate their cellular pharmacology. Our innovative approach will be broadly applicable to diverse protein kinases of interest to academia and industry, and in the future will support the development of new drugs by Australian companies..
