What's On at UWA

The next meeting of the Faculty of Science, Women in Science group will be a morning tea. All are welcome.

The morning tea is a great opportunity to network with other scientists in an informal setting. We will be discussing the implementation of the Faculty of Science mentoring (...)

Find out what opportunities are available in management consulting. Six firms will present over 2 days. This is your chance to meet and network with employers.

Presentation/Networking (Mon 22 February):

9.00am-10.30am: McKinsey and Company

10.30am-12.00pm: Bain (...)

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.

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.

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 (...)

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 (...)

The interplay of electron-electron interactions and spin-orbit coupling has been the subject of much debate recently. On the one hand, spin-orbit coupling is at the heart of novel materials such as topological insulators and superconductors as well as Dirac and Weyl semimetals. On the other hand (...)

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 (...)

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 (...)

For an optical lattice clock the atoms need to be cooled to as low a temperature as possible to increase transfer rates to the lattice. With 171-Yb we have found an effective means of cooling 171-Yb atoms to 20 micro-K by use of a newly found resonance. The resonance was first identified here (...)

X-ray Diffraction is a very useful technique for characterisation of various materials in different ways. With the recent advancement in hardware and software technology, high end X-ray Diffraction and X-ray Scattering experiments usually done on Synchrotron can be performed at lab scale even (...)

Searches for generic transient ("burst") gravitational waves identified the presence of the gravitational wave signal, GW150914, within three minutes of the data acquisition. Burst gravitational wave searches identify time-correlated transients in multiple detectors with minimal (...)

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 (...)

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 (...)

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 (...)
