What's On at UWA

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 (...)

The first billion years after the Big Bang represent the final observational frontier in assembling a coherent picture of cosmic history. During this period early stars and galaxies formed and the Universe became bathed in ultraviolet light. Hydrogen in the intergalactic medium also transitioned (...)

While earthquake predictability is poorly understood, some faults have more regular seismicity than others. Earthquakes on oceanic transform faults exhibit many of the most systematic and predictable behaviors known in seismology and therefore provide a window into earthquake forecasting on (...)

In the last twenty years, many improvements have been made in earth imaging at different scales using different technologies such as active/passive seismics, electromagnetism, potentials (gravity, magnetism, electric potentials),….

The wide variety of data to be inverted to retrieve (...)

The Earth sits in a cosmic shooting gallery. Phil will talk about the window that the Desert Fireball Network gives us on asteroid impacts, and how the project might change our understanding of how planetary systems form. It will look at the journey that these rocks have taken, from their origins (...)

In this lecture Dr Martin will present different high order numerical tools using finite-difference or finite element approaches to propagate seismic waves in a wide variety of Earth structures at different scales in order, in the near future, to couple them through different physics related to (...)

Since a spinning bicycle wheel is the canonical example of angular momentum, many physicists believe that angular momentum is important to the stability of a bicycle. However, it has been known for a long time that this is not so; angular momentum plays only a very minor role in maintaining bicycle (...)

This event will showcase services and resources that Pawsey Supercomputing Centre can provide to UWA researchers to take their research to the next level. There will be time in the morning for existing users and potential users to have one-on-one assistance with Pawsey staff. This will be (...)

Abstract We combine discrete empirical interpolation techniques, global mode decomposition methods, and local multiscale methods, to reduce the computational complexity associated with nonlinear flows in highly heterogeneous porous media. The resulting reduced-order approach enables a significant (...)

The first detection of gravitational waves from binary black holes was made in September 2015. This not only confirmed Einstein’s 1915 general theory of relativity, but also marked the beginning of a new era of gravitational wave astronomy. In recognition of the promising revolutionary effect of (...)

Not only did the early Renaissance painters seek to improve their methods of spatial illusionism, they believed that sophisticated knowledge of geometry was integral. Leon Battista Alberti (1435) believed the first requirement of a painter was to know geometry, whereas Piero Della Francesca went to (...)

This workshop will help those new to applying for Project Grants to plan their application. We'll also cover how applications are assessed, with input from a recent Grant Review Panel member. RSVP: Via Eventbrite

Presentation and question/answer session with DVCR Prof Robyn Owens, and Faculty of Health & Medical Sciences Associate Dean-Research, Prof Hugh Barrett

Speaker: Yian Xu (University of Western Australia) Title: Constructing a 2-arc-transitive cover for a certain hypercube Time and place: 16:00 Friday 03/11/2017 in Weatherburn LT

Abstract: The canonical basis, which is a particular type of basis of a vector space will be introduced in (...)

With grant writing season almost upon us, this workshop can help researchers learn how to implement involvement activities into their grant applications. With research funders increasingly requiring consumer and community involvement to be included in grant applications this workshop is a must. Th (...)
