Complex magnetic structures for microwave, logic and memory applications. The proposed work addresses high profile fields of nanotechnology and frequency agile materials. Device prototypes of novel energy efficient components for microwave signal processing, for wave logic and for memory applications based on magnetic materials will be designed, fabricated and studied.
Substrate-integrated wearable antennas for unobtrusive activity monitoring. This project aims to develop a novel class of wearable textile antennas that can form robust connections with miniature battery-less motion sensors for non-invasive activity monitoring of older people. In contrast to bulky body worn sensors that must be strapped on, it is anticipated that the garment-integrated textile antennas patterned through computerised embroidery will lead to low-cost, low-profile, and flexible ant ....Substrate-integrated wearable antennas for unobtrusive activity monitoring. This project aims to develop a novel class of wearable textile antennas that can form robust connections with miniature battery-less motion sensors for non-invasive activity monitoring of older people. In contrast to bulky body worn sensors that must be strapped on, it is anticipated that the garment-integrated textile antennas patterned through computerised embroidery will lead to low-cost, low-profile, and flexible antennas that are truly wearable with exceptional performance and scalable manufacturing techniques. The outcomes from the project are expected to underpin innovative applications, such as aged care, providing a means for caregivers to automatically monitor health and physical activity and intervene as required. Such applications would support ageing Australians to live with greater independence and safety.Read moreRead less

Summary
Integrated Interconnects in Data Centres and High-Performance Computing. High-speed interconnects are needed to link, transmit, retrieve, and process intensive data in a time- and energy-efficient and cost-effective manner in data centres and high-performance computing. This project aims to investigate high-speed, integrated interconnects, including novel integrated devices and transceivers on silicon platforms, flexible subsystems and overall system architecture. The research outcomes will be b ....Integrated Interconnects in Data Centres and High-Performance Computing. High-speed interconnects are needed to link, transmit, retrieve, and process intensive data in a time- and energy-efficient and cost-effective manner in data centres and high-performance computing. This project aims to investigate high-speed, integrated interconnects, including novel integrated devices and transceivers on silicon platforms, flexible subsystems and overall system architecture. The research outcomes will be beneficial to a number of industries including integrated chip and circuit design and fabrication, integrated systems, and network infrastructures, and will enable faster platforms for cloud computing, sensing, signal processing, and computational health.Read moreRead less
Micro-electro-mechanical Technologies and Tuneable Millimetre-wave Systems. The project aims to develop background theory and microelectromechanical (MEM)-based techniques for monolithic fabrication that integrate highly miniaturised three-dimensional waveguides with MEM systems. These technologies shall be used to design, develop and fabricate reconfigurable millimetre-wave devices.

The project aims to develop background theory and microelectromechanical (MEM)-based techniques for monolithic fabrication that integrate highly miniaturised three-dimensional waveguides with MEM systems. These technologies shall be used to design, develop and fabricate reconfigurable millimetre-wave devices. The project aims to bring together micromachining and millimetre-wave circuits to enable the realisation of reconfigurable systems on chip. These technologies offer reduced size, cost and power consumption and high functionality, unachievable with conventional millimetre wave technology alone. The planned outcomes of the project are necessary to satisfy the sharply risen requirements for current and future fourth and fifth generation (4G and 5G) wireless communications systems.Read moreRead less
