Lattice Gauge Theory
Honours projects: Projects in this area study lattice gauge theory by developing numerical simulations on high performance computers.
Effective Field Theory
Honours projects: Developing innovative techniques which serve to guide and interpret research at international experimental facilities.
Radar Rainfall Studies
Honours projects: Scanning weather radars use empirical relationships to calculate rainfall rates from the measured returned power. Depending on student’s interest various projects using a combinations of systems is possible. These could include sensor fusion, radar deployment, comparison techniques, validation with Bureau of Meteorology’s computational models, etc.
Transient Weather Events
Honours project: Integration of data from multiple instruments to determine the origins of recurring and transient weather events in the Adelaide area.
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).
