Summary
Building intelligence into online video services by learning user interests. This project aims to build an intelligent video streaming service by characterising users’ view interest patterns and predict user interest changes through learning data from Internet to address the challenge caused by astronomic video population. The outcomes of the project will be of great values for users and our society by intelligently filtering out valueless, harmful, illegal and unwanted videos in advance.
Physical layer security techniques for multiuser wireless networks. This project will develop innovative new security techniques for wireless networks. The novel techniques we develop will exploit the natural variability of wireless communication channels in order to deliver much-enhanced data security to a whole range of applications over the mobile internet.

Summary
High performance clock facility for new-generation radar, imaging, measurement and radio-astronomy applications. At the heart of critical modern technologies (e.g. communications, navigation, radar) lies a high quality oscillator that generates an ultra-pure signal: it is this device that determines the overall system performance. The proposed facility will deliver breakthrough portable technology to improve the performance of these crucial technologies.

Two-price quantitative finance. This project aims to establish a novel field, namely two-price quantitative finance, and explore its applications. The new field will integrate two major schools for modelling and explain the presence of two prices, the buying and selling prices, widely observed in the real-world markets, and the equilibrium approach from the fundamental law of one price. The outcomes would deepen our understanding of the fundamental relationship among liquidity, prices, risk and ....Two-price quantitative finance. This project aims to establish a novel field, namely two-price quantitative finance, and explore its applications. The new field will integrate two major schools for modelling and explain the presence of two prices, the buying and selling prices, widely observed in the real-world markets, and the equilibrium approach from the fundamental law of one price. The outcomes would deepen our understanding of the fundamental relationship among liquidity, prices, risk and the economy. This project expects to bring about long-term impact on quantitative finance and related applications through providing a deep understanding of, and a new perspective for, the design, risk and fairness of the finance, property and insurance markets.Read moreRead less
G-expectation and its applications to nonlinear risk management. This project will develop novel theories and methods for nonlinear risk management based on nonlinear expectations and Backward Stochastic Differential Equations. The expected outcomes of the project will place Australia in the forefront and the leading position of these fields.
Pumping up the volume on sound-light interactions. This project aims to create a new class of integrated microwave information processors on a single optical chip. Using electro-acoustic coupling in semiconductors, we expect to reduce optical power requirements hundredfold, enabling the emergence of practically deployable processors using ordinary telecom lasers. The expected project outcomes are inexpensive, compact, stable and energy efficient microwave photonic processors, a key requirement f ....Pumping up the volume on sound-light interactions. This project aims to create a new class of integrated microwave information processors on a single optical chip. Using electro-acoustic coupling in semiconductors, we expect to reduce optical power requirements hundredfold, enabling the emergence of practically deployable processors using ordinary telecom lasers. The expected project outcomes are inexpensive, compact, stable and energy efficient microwave photonic processors, a key requirement for reference standards and precision measurements of time and frequency. This technology has the potential to create a multitude of opportunities for commercial development in the fields of defence, information security, autonomous vehicles, sensing, and ultra-high bandwidth mobile communications.Read moreRead less
