What's On at UWA

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.

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.

This free event will see researchers presenting about their (...)

The Australian Society for Medical Research (ASMR)WA Branch invites you to share and enjoy the fellowship of the health and medical research community at our annual gala dinner to celebrate ASMR medical research week (MRW®)

Friday 10th June – 6:30pm for 7pm start Ballroom - Duxton (...)
