The ARC Research Hub for Driving Farming Productivity and Disease Prevention aims to increase farm production and disease prevention through advancing and transferring new artificial intelligence technologies into industrial deployment. The Hub will combine machine vision, machine learning, software quality control, engineering, biology, and farming industries to develop technologies to build more intelligent systems. These dynamic systems will help determine what goal to achieve and the most efficient plan to achieve it. This Hub is expected to contribute to higher farming efficiency, lower production costs and fewer disease risks, giving the Australian industry new business opportunities and an international competitive advantage.Read moreRead less
Developing an integrated device for on-farm detection of sugarcane diseases. Pathogenic organisms cause yield losses of more than $150M pa to the Australian sugarcane industry and many millions more worldwide. Partnering with Sugar Research Australia, this project aims to develop a novel on-farm diagnostic device, comprising new nanotechnology and magnetism-induced microfluidics with naked eye observation and electrochemical detection. This device is expected to enable improved disease managemen ....Developing an integrated device for on-farm detection of sugarcane diseases. Pathogenic organisms cause yield losses of more than $150M pa to the Australian sugarcane industry and many millions more worldwide. Partnering with Sugar Research Australia, this project aims to develop a novel on-farm diagnostic device, comprising new nanotechnology and magnetism-induced microfluidics with naked eye observation and electrochemical detection. This device is expected to enable improved disease management strategies through the prediction of potential risks and rapid and effective actions to mitigate impending yield loss. In turn productivity and sustainability of Australia’s sugar industry will be enhanced. The new platform device has great potential for improved disease management in other crops in Australia and globally.Read moreRead less

Summary
Integrated silicon carbide nanosensors for monitoring extreme environment. This project aims to develop a highly sensitive and reliable sensing platform for structural health monitoring in harsh environments, encompassing high temperature, corrosion, and shock. These conditions have been posing several technical challenges to sensing and electronic devices. The project elucidates the piezoresistive and thermoresistive effects in silicon carbide nanowires, which are the building blocks of robust ....Integrated silicon carbide nanosensors for monitoring extreme environment. This project aims to develop a highly sensitive and reliable sensing platform for structural health monitoring in harsh environments, encompassing high temperature, corrosion, and shock. These conditions have been posing several technical challenges to sensing and electronic devices. The project elucidates the piezoresistive and thermoresistive effects in silicon carbide nanowires, which are the building blocks of robust mechanical and thermal sensors used in extreme conditions. The findings from this project expect to provide Australia with the cutting-edge expertise necessary for developing next-generation monitoring systems in the extreme environments of the oil/gas transportation, mining, automobile, and space exploration industries.Read moreRead less
