What's On at UWA

You are invited to join many of Australia's leading organisations at the year’s most important free careers event – The Big Meet.

Whether you're looking for graduate employment, a new job, vacation work, an international internship, a gap-year experience, voluntary work, travel (...)

Citi are on campus this Tuesday to recruit for their 2017 graduate program.

Not studying Finance? Not a problem. You don’t need to be studying Finance to work at an investment bank. UWA Physics, Mathematics, Economics and other graduates have been hired by investment banks.

The analysis of thin films introduces numerous unique complexities compared to bulk materials. A thorough knowledge of thin film XRD enables researchers to gain a detailed understanding of their structure and composition and hence, arms them with the knowledge to better predict their in-service (...)

Shell are coming on campus during March for a series of presentations. For students applying to the Shell graduate or vacation programs, these talks give you first-hand knowledge of what is important to Shell and can enhance your application and interview.

March 15 – Innovation Innovat (...)

Your application is a powerful marketing tool that can gain an employer's interest. This session hosted by Goldman Sachs will talk through ideas for your application that will sit you on top of the pile.

The bottom-up approach is considered a potential alternative for the low cost manufacturing of nanostructured materials. It is based on the concept of self-assembly of nanostructures on a substrate, and is emerging as an alternative paradigm for traditional top down fabrication used in the (...)

Find out about exchange opportunities to study overseas as part of your UWA degree including semester long and short term programs. Meet international students from UWA partner universities from all over the world and get advice on how an overseas experience can add to your UWA degree.

Join our lively discussion on International Development with Dr Michael Woolcock from The World Bank and Mrs Dibya Gurung from DeKMIS, as well as Dr Petra Tschakert (UWA), Dr Amin Mugera (UWA), and Dr Graham Brown (UWA).

Tissue growth, renewal, and shape adaptation are common traits to many biological tissues and biomaterials. These traits involve changes in tissue geometry and in bulk material properties that are due to modelling processes (tissue generation/destruction) and remodelling processes (tissue renewal) (...)

Dense assemblies of granular materials subject to deformation exhibit complex, self-organized and emergent behaviour. Force chains, quasi-linear arrangements of particles bearing above average load, form and align in the direction of principal stress. Collective buckling of force chains is one (...)

Title: Mathematics and Statistics of Scuba Diving

Abstract: Scuba divers are trained to follow procedures that keep them safe while diving and afterward. Surprisingly, these safety measures are based on just a handful of simple mathematical and statistical principles, which will be (...)

The seminar series is aimed at Postgraduates in Statistics and allied fields, as well as at anyone interested in statistics. In this session we will cover basic ideas of random variables, means and variances, standard distributions (Bernoulli, binomial, geometric, Poisson) and their properties, and (...)

UWA encourages its researchers to be proactive and plan early for applications to competitive grant schemes. With the move to continuous rounds of the ARC Linkage program from the 1st July, it is more important than ever to plan ahead! To help you in this regard, the UWA Research Development team (...)

This course aims to provide you with an introduction to the facilities available in MS Excel from a statistical point of view. As well as an introduction to Excel, spreadsheet functions and graphics, it concentrates on performing basic statistical methods, producing charts and tables, and discusses (...)

The seminar series is aimed at Postgraduates in Statistics and allied fields, as well as at anyone interested in statistics. In this session we will continue with means and variances of standard distributions (binomial, geometric, Poisson), functions of random variables, Multivariate distributions.< (...)

The seminar series is aimed at Postgraduates in Statistics and allied fields, as well as at anyone interested in statistics. In this session we will continue with Multivariate distributions, sums and ratios of independent RVs, and finally begin Moment Generating Functions (MGFs).

The quest for gravitational waves began with Einstein’s prediction exactly 100 years ago. The first experimental search began in 1960. From 1970 onwards the gravitational wave spectrum was mapped out theoretically. Misunderstandings and false claims of detection have created scepticism and (...)

Wind, wave and tide are all potential sources of renewable energy, and the industries to exploit them are at different stages of maturity. Offshore wind is already well developed, with the UK for instance having installed offshore wind turbines with a capacity of more than 3GW. The industry faces (...)

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.
