What's On at UWA

The Australian Centre for Geomechanics (ACG) will host the ACG Physical and Numerical Modelling of Caving Mechanics Workshop alongside The AusIMM’s Seventh International Conference and Exhibition on Mass Mining 2016. Our one-day workshop will bring together industry experts to discuss this topic.

Title: Galois and his groups

Abstract: When Galois invented groups they were very different from the structures taught and learned and loved in undergraduate courses at UWA and other modern universities. My purpose in this lecture will be to explain the differences and calibrate (...)

All are welcome to attend the annual Postgraduate Showcase: Frontiers in Agriculture.

The Postgraduate Showcase brings together some of UWA’s best PhD students at an advanced stage of their research. It highlights relevant research and progress being made in the area of Agriculture and (...)

Drinks, food, fireworks and science. Come and watch as our fresh, young scientists present their work at a pub event with a difference.

The ten young scientists will describe their scientific discoveries in the time it takes a party sparkler to burn out.

One hundred early-caree (...)

The University of Western Australia is proud to host this public lecture from Professor Carol Weissert, 2015 Fulbright-Flinders Distinguished Chair in American Political Science.

Professor Weissert will discuss the tumultuous and bombastic 2016 American Presidential Race, analysing (...)

The primary objective of this workshop is to provide an introduction to the challenges facing the new technology of Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) production and in particular address the question of the role of FLNG in meeting future LNG demand. The workshop explores the technical and (...)

The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre and The University of Western Australia would like to invite you to the Pawsey Roadshow, an event showcasing services and resources that Pawsey provides to researchers across Australia.

In Australia, it is estimated in the next 1-2 years over a 1000 experienced scientists will become unemployed due to lack of funding. A concerned group met recently to discuss this issue and decided a BIGGER CONVERSATION is needed to create an action plan to avert the impending crisis.

We (...)

The 2016 Blakers Mathematics Competition is now open.

Eligible candidates are all undergraduates in first, second and third years at a WA university.

Entries must be received by Friday, 19 August 2016. They may be mailed or given to Dr Greg Gamble, School of Mathematics and (...)

The UWA Future Students team will be running School Advisory Sessions in the July school holidays.

This is a chance for high school students and parents to come on campus and speak directly to a Future Students Adviser. The sessions will last about 30 mins each and will give a chance for (...)

The '7th Wave' reflects the ever changing landscape in Higher Education - every 7th wave is larger than the rest and will bring the biggest learning innovation changes.

The first of the 7th Wave Conference Series is a two-day event exploring opportunities to build on the momentum of (...)

The Australian-American Fulbright Commission offers Scholarships to Australian citizens across all career stages: Postgraduate,Postdoctoral, Professional, Senior Scholars and Distinguished Chairs.

This workshop will outline how CERI can help researchers develop entrepreneurial skills and assist them through the innovation process. CERI is a not-for-profit organisation based in Nedlands.

The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre has a range of training sessions coming up in July. If you are interested in learning how to apply advanced computing to solve research problems, please register for the training sessions below:

11-13 July: introductory and Intermediate Supercomputing

This course covers techniques that can be used to analyse data with continuous and categorical variables. The course will begin with simple linear regression and then proceed with approaches that can be used with more than two variables such as multiple regression. ANOVA with interactions and (...)

If you’re an UWA’s researcher and your computational science, big data or visualisation work is limited by the computational resources, come and talk to the specialists from the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre at the upcoming Pawsey Clinic. Find out how you may benefit from the Pawsey resources (...)

Abstract: I will start by providing an introduction to the Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS) at the University of Adelaide and then examine in detail one of the spectroscopic technologies created within my research group to demonstrate an example of the benefits of the trans-disci (...)

Abstract: The talk will cover an intriguing yet powerful way of accelerating and trapping molecular hydrogen in a self-organized extremely deep potential well. In this new Lamb-Dicke regime of stimulated-Raman-scattering, hydrogen molecules inside a photonic bandgap hollow core fibre are deeply-tra (...)

In principle, NMR is an ideal technique for metabolomics. It is non-destructive, non-biased, highly quantitative, requires no prior separation, permits the identification of novel compounds and needs no chemical derivatization. However, relative to other analytical techniques NMR is slow and (...)
