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.
Theoretical High Energy Physics
Honours projects: Available projects include supersymmetry (SUSY), GUTs, dark matter, extra-dimensional models, composite Higgs models, and scale invariant theories.
Imaging Microstructured Optical Fibres
Honours projects: Accurate knowledge of optical parameters is becoming increasingly important for a wide range of scientific and industrial applications.

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).
Designing the next generation CTA gamma-ray observatory with machine learning and other computational techniques
Honours projects: Gamma-ray astronomy projects which study the most energetic part of the electromagnetic spectrum and correspondingly require large telescope systems and state-of-the-art analysis techniques.
Investigation of the use of Optical Photogrammetry in High Dose Rate Surface Brachytherapy
Honours project: This project utilises optical photogrammetry to address limitations of surface mould applicators for brachytherapy.
Characterisation of the Dosimetric Properties of Radiochromic Films
Honours project:This project will involve Monte-Carlo simulations of the dose deposition within the different radiochromic film designs.
