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 (...)

YOU can meet our UniHallers and join us for a free exclusive breakfast and a tour before heading over to UWA Open Day.

This is a great opportunity for you to discover what it’s like to live on campus at UWA. On the day you will meet our UniHall ambassadors who will take you on a tour (...)

Everyone is warmly invited to our Mathematics and Statistics Colloquium.

Talk title: The Discovery of Janko's Sporadic Simple Groups. Talk abstract: In 1966, Zvonimir Janko published a paper which revolutionised finite group theory. The previous year, working as a Research Fellow at the (...)

UWA scientists are invited to meet with Dr Melanie Bagg from the Australian Science Media Centre (AusSMC). Melanie will share tips and advice on the best use of social media to communicate your research with the media and the communities you want to reach.

Melanie has a PhD in Medicine (...)

Deciding where and how to publish is an important step in the research process. This workshop will cover a range of factors to consider, and introduce the tools and guides that can help. Open access publishing and the UWA Research Repository are covered.

The objective of blasting is to optimise the cost-effectiveness of the excavation process through the fragmentation and displacement of rock from its in situ condition to a highly diggable muckpile. The aim of wall control is to optimise the stability of a rock wall exposed by excavation through (...)

Across the month of September, the Centre for Education Futures will be hosting a range of workshops, presentations, webinars, panels and a half-day summit that will explore the use of mobile and in-context learning in Higher Education.

All mLearning Month events will be held at the (...)

This workshop will explore both just-in-time and long-term monitoring. Additionally, an understanding of slope failure mechanisms may be gained from InSAR and ground-based monitoring, LiDAR, inclinometers, geophones, piezometers etc.

Visit UWA from 5 – 9 September for UWA Research Week and imagine what is possible when we showcase UWA research and its impact on local and global communities.

With over 50 events it is a great opportunity for people to come and see the sorts of problems we are working on, the (...)

Psychology Colloquium Monday 5th September 5-6pm in Bayliss MCS G.33, followed by post-talk drinks in the Psychology Courtyard (or in bad weather, the Psychology Common Room, 2nd floor of main psychology building.)

Title: A generalized visual sense of number

Abstract:

The Australian Centre for Geomechanics is delighted to host the First Asia Pacific Slope Stability in Mining Conference in Brisbane, Australia, 6–8 September 2016.

This inaugural conference will provide a special forum for best practice and state-of-the-art technologies that are (...)

This workshop seeks to provide a theoretical and practical investigation of unstable slopes and the actions available to personnel, consultants and managers to manage unstable slopes. Underpinning all slope design is a geotechnical model for each slope. The workshop will provide an overview of (...)
