Radio Astronomy at 55 MHZ
Honours projects: Students will gain experience in radio interferometry techniques which underpin major astronomy programs in Australia such as the Square Kilometre Array (SKA).
Understanding Laser Beams
Honours project: The goal of this project is to explore the use of new imaging arrays for laser beam profilers that can cover a wide range of wavelengths.
Quantum technologies theory
Honours projects: Study with the Quantum Technologies Theory Group which specialise in applying quantum mechanics to emerging and future technologies.
Resveratrol & fetal growth
Honours project: Explore the use of resveratrol for improving fetal growth in complicated pregnancies.
Optical coherence tomography for intra-operative assessment of osteoarthritis
Honours projects: Develop a synthetic model of a soft cartilage over bone, most likely using some type of polymer resin over a rigid surface.

Treg cells & placental development
Honours project: Investigate regulatory T cells to drive vascular adaptations in early pregnancy to facilitate placental development.
Do sheep hang out with other sheep who have similar personalities?
Honours project: Determine whether sheep prefer to associate with other individuals that are similar in their behavioural type, and whether this results in an assortative social network structure.

Small Field Dosimetry with Beryllium Oxide Ceramic Fibre Optic Dosimeters
Honours project: This project will involve Monte-Carlo simulations of the beryllium oxide (BeO) ceramic dosimeter to determine the expected dose deposition when exposed to small fields. Experimental measurements will then be performed at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and compared to other dosimetry systems.
