What's On at UWA

Abstract: The discovery of the first gravitational waves (GW150914) from a binary black hole merger initiated the era of gravitational wave (GW) astronomy. An electromagnetic signal accompanying a GW signal could significantly enhance the information that can be obtained from such events. In the (...)

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 (...)

High-energy X-ray beams have become the principal tool for radiation oncology in Australia and are used in treatment of almost half of all cancer patients. Protons and heavy ions offer an alternative with particularly appealing characteristics for the treatment of specific cancer types and in (...)

Hermann Nicolai has been a Director of the prestigious Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (also known as the Albert Einstein Institute) since 1997, and is Head of the Division of Quantum Gravity and Unified Theories. Professor Nicolai is an internationally renowned expert in quantum (...)

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

Over the past 20 years, focused ion bean (FIB) and SEM/FIB instrumentation has transformed scientists' ability to investigate materials to develop new sample preparation methods to become the industry standard and 'work-horse' for site-specific cross-section analysis, S/TEM sample preparation (cross (...)

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 (...)

Abstract

Today, atomic clocks enable precision estimates of time and position. Through the use of ultra precise atomic frequency standards, we can form time scales, such as the international time standard Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), capable of dating events with nanosecond accuracy (...)

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 (...)

Seminar Abstract: Mergers of black holes cause permanent deformation of space, due to the Christodoulou effect. While this gravitational-wave memory signal is weak, I will argue it will be measurable once advanced LIGO reaches its design sensitivity. I will also show that Pulsar Timing Arrays will (...)

Everyone is warmly invited to our Mathematics and Statistics Colloquium. This will be the first talk by our newly appointed Professor of Applied Mathematics, please come along to welcome Professor Abarzhi to the School.

Talk title: Rayleigh-Taylor instability and interfacial mixing
< (...)

Everyone is warmly invited to the Joint Physics and Mathematics Colloquium.

Title: "Dualities in Mathematics and Physics"

Abstract: In this talk I will review some geometric analogues of the Fourier transform, which arise in String Theory under the name of ‘dua (...)

Abstract:

Recent trends of interferometric wavefront sensing tend to focus on high precision, anti-vibration, compact, along with much more involved of electric and computer technology. The optical principles employed will not only limit the interference but also include diffraction (...)

The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre has organised OpenFOAM training which will be delivered by OpenFOAM Ltd.

This training will be particularly relevant for researchers working with Computational Fluid Dynamics and simulating complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions; turbulence and (...)

This seminar will have two topics and two speakers: 1. Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT): A novel multimodal imaging technology; 2. Investigations into the development of successful nanomedicines. Lunch provided. Please RSVP for catering purposes

The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre would like to invite you to the Pawsey Clinic at The University of Western Australia. This is one of a series of clinics. The clinic will commence with a 30 minute presentation about the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre at 9.00am, followed by consultations through the (...)
