Complex Systems
Honours projects: Projects focused on complex systems which are are typically comprised of a large number of interconnected components which interact collectively, leading to emergent behaviour, such as self-organisation, which is not apparent from the properties of the underlying components.
Reduced dimensionality representations of soft matter
Honours project: Use methods from statistical mechanics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to develop algorithms to automate the dimensionality reduction process.

Designing organic semiconductor interfaces for advanced flexible electronics
Honours project: Develop a more predictive approach to controlling organic electronic device performance, in particular by exploiting molecular anisotropy to manipulate the structure of organic semiconductor interfaces.

Testing for irradiated foods
Honours project: Optimise methodologies to detect irradiated food by optically-stimulated luminescence.
Fossils under a new light
Honours projects: Use new fluorescence imaging techniques to analyse fossils that range in age from half-a-billion to some tens of thousands of years old.
Saving megafauna from bacteria
Honours projects: Identify and image biofilms that threaten the Naracoorte Caves National Park fossils.
It’s space water, but not as we know it
Honours projects: Explore laser-induced fluorescence of water and aqueous minerals for space applications.
Probing the ionosphere using radio signals
Honours project: Evaluate the utility of software defined radio (SDR) for providing low-cost ionospheric sounder receivers.
