Energy efficient sensing, computing and communication. This research will study trade-offs in resource use: bandwidth, power, and computational capacity of systems of sensors such as cameras, radars, and distributed sensor networks based on a statistical mechanical theory of information processing, leading to practical algorithms to optimize resource use in the design of such systems.
Information theoretic approaches to optimise genome wide association studies with application to continuous and discrete traits. This project aims to develop new mathematical methods to find genetic associations from new genome-wide studies of colorectal cancer and breast cancer risk factors. If successful, this will result in improved use of expensive genetic data to better predict and understand diseases, conditions and other characteristics for humans, animals and plants.

Full-duplex wireless communication. This project aims to develop communication schemes that can enable wireless devices to simultaneously receive and transmit on the same frequency. Over the last century wireless devices have been operating inefficiently by using different frequencies for reception and transmission. The project aims to make wireless devices frequency efficient, and is expected to double the data rates of every wireless device in the world, and thereby contribute to significant i ....Full-duplex wireless communication. This project aims to develop communication schemes that can enable wireless devices to simultaneously receive and transmit on the same frequency. Over the last century wireless devices have been operating inefficiently by using different frequencies for reception and transmission. The project aims to make wireless devices frequency efficient, and is expected to double the data rates of every wireless device in the world, and thereby contribute to significant improvement of the capacity of future mobile networks.Read moreRead less
Taming uncertainty: a stochastic-geometric foundation for complex wireless networks. This project will improve our understanding of complex networks such as the internet, wireless communication networks and social networks. We will do this by properly studying the impact of the network geometry. The outcomes will be new approaches to managing complex networks to improve both efficiency and performance.
Network coding over finite rings. Wireless networks are increasing exponentially throughout the world, but are still plagued by delay, jitter, and interference. Advanced algebraic tools are the key to designing novel network coding and relaying schemes, which will overcome these issues and increase the network capacity in terms of sustainable data rates.
Index coding for multimedia content distribution networks. The project aims to develop new bandwidth-efficient index coding schemes to reduce network congestion. A large portion of the increasing internet traffic is due to video content browsing and distribution. This creates serious strains on the current network infrastructure, which is designed to support conventional data. It is crucial to explore new avenues to reduce the network congestion due to large file downloads. The project aims to t ....Index coding for multimedia content distribution networks. The project aims to develop new bandwidth-efficient index coding schemes to reduce network congestion. A large portion of the increasing internet traffic is due to video content browsing and distribution. This creates serious strains on the current network infrastructure, which is designed to support conventional data. It is crucial to explore new avenues to reduce the network congestion due to large file downloads. The project aims to tackle this problem by exploring new index coding techniques that are robust to failures in wireless and wired network links. Using advanced mathematical tools from algebraic number theory and module theory, the project aims to design optimally bandwidth-efficient index coding schemes that enable timely and reliable content distribution to end users.Read moreRead less
Advanced coding techniques for next generation NAND Flash memories. Advanced coding techniques for next generation NAND Flash memories. This project aims to design low-power consuming coding schemes that can achieve the maximum coding gain for NAND Flash memories in Solid State Drives. Although these devices are replacing hard drives in laptops and provide enormous benefits in access speed and weight, they become unreliable the more they are used.

This project aims to design low-power consuming coding schemes that can achieve the maximum coding gain for NAND Flash memories in Solid State Drives. Although these devices are replacing hard drives in laptops and provide enormous benefits in access speed and weight, they become unreliable the more they are used. Advanced coding techniques are needed to solve problems caused by the very strict reliability/cost requirements of large storage systems. Allocating memory to coding redundant information can extend these devices’ lifetime. The design of codes and decoders with a low power consumption is expected to be the key enabling technology for next generation large storage devices.Read moreRead less
Efficient and effective algorithms for searching strings in secondary storage. Pattern searching is fundamental to a wide range of computing applications, including web search and bioinformatics. In this project we will develop compression algorithms and hybrid memory-disk search structures that allow fast pattern matching on sequences of textual and numeric data, including when approximate search is required.
A fast and effective automated insider threat detection and prediction system. Threats from insiders directly compromises the security, privacy and integrity of Australian e-commerce, large databases and communication channels. This project will provide an essential step in combating this criminal activity by developing methods to detect such threats and secure the public's information against exposure and identity theft.

Partitioning and ordering Steiner triple systems. Steiner triple systems are fundamental mathematical objects with many real-world applications. This project will develop deep new insights into these objects, resulting in systems allowing many users to simultaneously use a communication channel, and in schemes for preventing the loss of computer data due to hard disk failures.
