Test bed for wide-area software defined networking research: This project aims to develop a wide-area test bed, spanning ten organisations, for conducting research and experimentation in the emerging disruptive technology of Software Defined Networking (SDN). SDN is likely to bring long-term transformation to the networking industry, much like cloud computing did, by enabling dynamic virtualised elastic network services under software control. The test bed will empower Australian researchers in network technologies and dependent applications (for example, multimedia and security) to collaboratively develop and demonstrate novel ideas at scale. This is expected to benefit Australia by giving our researchers international recognition in this nascent area, and developing a national talent pool for local industry.Read moreRead less
As women age, the quality of their eggs decline and their chance of having a healthy baby plummets. The accumulation of DNA damage within the egg, and the reduced ability to repair this damage, may be one cause of compromised reproductive success in older women. This project will investigate the ability of eggs to repair DNA damage during maternal aging and will explore the importance of DNA repair to fertility and the transmission of high quality genetic material to their offspring.

Summary
Over time our cells accumulate damage to their DNA, which introduces mistakes in the genetic code. These mistakes can alter genes that regulate cell growth and survival and, in this way, they begin the process of turning a normal cell into a cancer. This research is investigating the cellular repair mechanisms that safeguard against DNA damage. Manipulating these repair mechanisms may offer a new way to treat cancer, by selectively inducing DNA damage within cancer cells.
New genomic technologies are revolutionizing biological research. RNA-seq is a recently developed high-throughput sequencing technology that provides scientists with much more detail how genes are regulated and expressed than any earlier technology. New tools developed by Professor Gordon Smyth are allowing researchers to use RNA-Seq technology to more accurately determine which genes are genuinely changing in the development of cancers and in response to cancer treatments.
Ultrahigh-speed optical transport for sustaining the internet growth. Our society has entered an information era centred around the Internet. This project aims to study novel transport technologies to construct optical backbone networks supporting the Internet traffic. The project will keep Australia at the leading edge of exciting Terabit technologies as well as create commercial opportunities in Australia.
Few-mode transmission: harnessing the capacity of optical fibres. Optical fibres are widely deployed for carrying internet traffic. This project aims to study breakthrough technologies to dramatically increase the capacity of optical fibres. The project will help maintain Australia at the leading edge of the information age as well as providing exciting opportunities for training research associates and students.
Classifying Internet traffic for security applications. As the internet traffic data exponentially increases every year, traffic classification has become a fundamental approach to the security of the Internet. This project aims to develop a set of novel techniques for internet traffic classification, which is fundamentally important to defend against the serious cyber-attacks and effectively minimise the damages. This project is significant as it can help to improve cyber security, which is ess ....Classifying Internet traffic for security applications. As the internet traffic data exponentially increases every year, traffic classification has become a fundamental approach to the security of the Internet. This project aims to develop a set of novel techniques for internet traffic classification, which is fundamentally important to defend against the serious cyber-attacks and effectively minimise the damages. This project is significant as it can help to improve cyber security, which is essential for the work and daily lives of the Australian people. Furthermore, the proposed models and techniques will be important for enhancing the protection of Australian critical infrastructures against malicious cyber-attacks.Read moreRead less
Self-coherent detection for data centre. This project aims to explore the architecture of terabit data transport using self-coherent detection that addresses the tight constraints of power, space and cost in data centres. The project expects to create new knowledge in coherent detection based on optical equalisation rather than conventional power-hungry electronic equalisation. Expected outcomes of this project include advanced architecture of polarisation effect equalisers and all-optical equal ....Self-coherent detection for data centre.

The project expects to create new knowledge in coherent detection based on optical equalisation rather than conventional power-hungry electronic equalisation. Expected outcomes of this project include advanced architecture of polarisation effect equalisers and all-optical equalisation algorithms as well as enhanced international collaboration with top experts in optical communications. The outcomes will contribute to maintaining Australia’s high reputation in the ICT arena.Read moreRead less
