The Network will encompass semiconductor microelectronics, optoelectronics, sensors and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Fundamental research in these areas enables the technological advances that underpin rapidly developing industries such as information and telecommunications technologies, defence, aerospace, medicine, and remote sensing. Exciting challenges exist in designing new devices that exploit unique semiconductor systems and technologies. By sharing capabilities and resources (both capital and human), the network will enable the issues associated with such novel materials and devices to be addressed in a targeted manner. The network will also guarantee the ongoing future of research in the area by actively involving early career researchers and postgraduate students.Read moreRead less

Summary
New Frontiers in Structural Health Monitoring. In-situ Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is part of a current revolution in smart-structures technologies promising quantum gains in performance, endurance and cost-efficient maintenance for high-value assets. The aim of the proposed network is to provide a platform for collaborative, multidisciplinary research, research training and innovation by integrating currently disparate programs in SHM, since the high investment costs for the development ....New Frontiers in Structural Health Monitoring. In-situ Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is part of a current revolution in smart-structures technologies promising quantum gains in performance, endurance and cost-efficient maintenance for high-value assets. The aim of the proposed network is to provide a platform for collaborative, multidisciplinary research, research training and innovation by integrating currently disparate programs in SHM, since the high investment costs for the development of next generation smart technologies make a collaborative approach an absolute necessity. Its significance includes the efficient generation of world-class research outcomes in the key technologies enabling this revolution, viz. (i) sensor technologies; (ii) multifunctional materials; and (iii) intelligent systems, and the timely dissemination of these outcomes to Australian industry.Read moreRead less
