Ubiquity of Kloosterman sums in Number Theory and Beyond. This project aims to seek new methods of investigating Kloosterman sums by
combining an algebraic geometry approach with an analytic approach to develop one
powerful, unified method. Its significance lies in expected pivotal advances towards
several fundamental problems which lie at the heart of number theory such as
the Dirichlet Divisor Problem and asymptotic formulas for moments of L-functions.
The expected outcome of the project is ....Ubiquity of Kloosterman sums in Number Theory and Beyond. This project aims to seek new methods of investigating Kloosterman sums by

powerful, unified method. Its significance lies in expected pivotal advances towards
several fundamental problems which lie at the heart of number theory such as
the Dirichlet Divisor Problem and asymptotic formulas for moments of L-functions.
The expected outcome of the project is to provide a deeper understanding of the
intriguing nature of Kloosterman sums and thus open new perspectives for
applications in analytic number theory. This will provide
substantial benefits for other areas such as cryptography by deepening our understanding of pseudorandom sequences.Read moreRead less
A New framework to improve human-robot interaction in financial markets. This project aims to investigate the interaction of humans with robots (automated, algorithmic traders) in financial markets. It will build a novel environment based on controlled experiments within the context of financial markets. It is expected to discover how market participants choose to engage robots, and when and why robots are disengaged. The project will also investigate how the use of robots affects price behavio ....A New framework to improve human-robot interaction in financial markets. This project aims to investigate the interaction of humans with robots (automated, algorithmic traders) in financial markets. It will build a novel environment based on controlled experiments within the context of financial markets. It is expected to discover how market participants choose to engage robots, and when and why robots are disengaged. The project will also investigate how the use of robots affects price behaviour, and efficiency of allocation. This will provide significant benefits, such as enhancing Australia’s capacity for the scientific study of financial markets and for developing financial technology using an experimental method.Read moreRead less
Current therapy for AAV has major toxicities and 30% of Patients are dead or on dialysis within 3 years. This proposal aims to study a unique form of cell death termed Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) that initiates and perpetuates inflammation in this disease. We will use an animal model of the disease that mirrors human disease. We will inhibit crucial molecules in NET production to attenuate disease. This will provide proof of concept evidence to promote clinical trials in patients.

Economic analysis of time constraints on decision-making in health. This project aims to determine whether and how time constraints affect decision-making. Time constraints can impair the quality of decisions in health, resulting in serious medical and financial consequences. This project will employ experimental economic methods to examine how misaligned preferences and incentives influence decision-making under time constraints. The project will offer scientific evidence and accurate measureme ....Economic analysis of time constraints on decision-making in health. This project aims to determine whether and how time constraints affect decision-making. Time constraints can impair the quality of decisions in health, resulting in serious medical and financial consequences. This project will employ experimental economic methods to examine how misaligned preferences and incentives influence decision-making under time constraints. The project will offer scientific evidence and accurate measurements, provide insights into interventions to align the preferences of doctors and patients, and to lower the overtreatment of patients in the health-care market. The project expects to benefit society and contribute to a more efficient healthcare system.Read moreRead less

Economic analysis of peer effects in adolescence and adulthood. Although healthier, stronger and better at reasoning than young children, adolescents' morbidity and mortality rates are double those of young children. Unintentional injury, mostly avoidable and attributed to wrong decisions, is the biggest cause of death and hospitalisation among adolescents in Australia. Peer presence is likely to be a major cause of adolescents' inferior decision-making. This project aims to use experimental eco ....Economic analysis of peer effects in adolescence and adulthood. Although healthier, stronger and better at reasoning than young children, adolescents' morbidity and mortality rates are double those of young children. Unintentional injury, mostly avoidable and attributed to wrong decisions, is the biggest cause of death and hospitalisation among adolescents in Australia. Peer presence is likely to be a major cause of adolescents' inferior decision-making. This project aims to use experimental economics methods to study how peer presence affects the parameters of the economic decision model, specifically risk tolerance, discounting, and propensity to make errors. The project aims to advance the understanding of decision-making across the lifespan, inform theoretical modelling and advise policy-makers how to reduce the risks to adolescents.Read moreRead less
