What's On at UWA

Defects are common in many materials and some were regarded as detrimental. Recently with the advent of ultra-sensitive detectors, super-resolution microscopy advanced methodologies, optical single spin magnetic resonance and advanced material synthesis and doping, some of conventional (...)

I report development of acoustic resonators that would form the heart of a 3-mode opto-acoustic parametric amplifier, and present their performance. The small resonators are designed to form an add-on element to current existing technologies in space-mining, finding water resources km underground (...)

Because conventional perpendicular recording is now reaching its useful limits, the hard drive industry is heavily invested in several alternative recording technologies. The majority of these configurations (such as heat-assisted magnetic recording, microwave-assisted magnetic recording, and bit- (...)

Molecular electronics is now considered a viable future technology base for the enhancement of existing silicon-based microelectronics. By incorporating electronically active molecular units into solid-state platforms, ‘hybrid’ systems with higher component density, lower energy demand, lower (...)

Periodically nanopatterned thin-film ferromagnets have been shown to form magnonic grating couplers [1] and magnonic crystals (MCs) [2], i.e., artificial crystals exhibiting tailored band structures for spin waves (magnons). In the GHz frequency regime, spin waves (SWs) are excited with wave (...)

It is almost eighty years now since the original realisation that a majority of our universe consists of a type of matter that neither emits nor absorbs light. For this reason, we refer to it as "dark matter". Numerous astronomical observations have confirmed its existence, based on the (...)

Beethoven: A Tale of Triumph Concert - to be held at St George's College as part of their Spring Concert Series. The concert will see a selection from Beethoven's piano sonatas including the famous Moonlight Sonata performed by Perth's mightiest pianists! Performing: Mark Coughlan, Caroline (...)

Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) is a data fitting technique in which we seek to find a three-dimensional model of the earth’s elastic parameters from the data recorded in a seismic experiment. FWI images could be used to explore for oil and gas targets in a basin, to plan and safely drill (...)

This seminar will outline some of our recent research in Selective Laser Melting at The University of Western Australia in two main areas: Titanium - this work includes the development, production and testing of high strength to weight ratio structures: Aluminium - here recent results on the effect (...)

Missed out on the Postgrad & Honours Expo? No problem! Come along to our mini pop-up Postgrad Expo on 7 October between 1-2pm in the Bayliss Bldg. Staff from eight faculties will be there to answer your questions about postgraduate study - and to hand out free pizza!

A public lecture by Achim Kempf, Professor of Mathematical Physics, University of Waterloo and 2014 Institute of Advanced Studies Professor-at-Large.

The two deepest laws of nature that are known to date are quantum theory and general relativity. Not all is well with these two theories (...)

Living cells possess an exquisite ability to sense and respond to physical information in their microenvironment. This ability plays a key role in many fundamentally important physiological and pathological processes. I will describe our work utilizing a variety of strategies to use physical cues (...)

Young UWA composer and St George's College Director of Music, Michael Grebla, presents a series of musical compositions inspired by the landscapes, art, people and wildlife of UWA accompanied by large format photographic prints of the University. The concert will include a variety of works for (...)

At 1:00pm "Transcending Fear, the Story of Gao Zhisheng" will be screened.

Born in a cave with only stars to tell time, Gao Zhisheng overcomes incredible odds to become one of China’s top attorneys. The people call him “the Conscience of China.” But then, in the eyes of (...)
