Energy, Cosmic Censorship and Black Hole Stability. Human progress is achieved by confronting fundamental questions, at the leading edge of knowledge. This project will lead to better understanding of space-time physics, and of the properties of singular solutions of non-linear hyperbolic equations. Such equations govern a wide range of physical phenomena, including fluid flow, weather and electromagnetic fields.
Nonlocal nonlinear waves. This project will help to maintain the status of the Laser Physics Centre as the leading group in Australia and on the international arena in the field of nonlinear optics. Innovative and original ideas of fundamental importance emanating from this project would significantly strengthen this reputation. This project will expand the existing collaboration with our Danish partners. It will have an impact on the understanding of the soliton phenomena in many diverse fields ....Nonlocal nonlinear waves. This project will help to maintain the status of the Laser Physics Centre as the leading group in Australia and on the international arena in the field of nonlinear optics. Innovative and original ideas of fundamental importance emanating from this project would significantly strengthen this reputation. This project will expand the existing collaboration with our Danish partners. It will have an impact on the understanding of the soliton phenomena in many diverse fields providing knowledge which may be subsequently transferred to practical technologies. The research will provide training and experience for post-doctorate researchers as well as graduate and undergraduate students.Read moreRead less
A hierarchical quantum mechanical and classical simulation of biological ion channels. I aim to develop a methodology incorporating molecular quantum
mechanics and classical Brownian mechanics in a way that can be
applied practically to large macromolecular systems, thus relating
fine structural details to experimentally measurable
properties. Specifically, I will apply this methodology to study ion
channels in which the challenge is to relate electronic and atomic
structure to the conduct ....A hierarchical quantum mechanical and classical simulation of biological ion channels. I aim to develop a methodology incorporating molecular quantum

channels in which the challenge is to relate electronic and atomic
structure to the conductance properties of the channel. Accurately
determining these relationships provides a pathway to developing cures
for many neurological, cardiac, and muscular diseases.
