I supervise projects in particle physics. My main emphasis is on phenomenology, comparison of predictions with experimental measurements. I follow developments in flavour physics: weak decays of mesons and baryons and their role as indirect probes for physics beyond the standard model. I also...

Understanding factors related to student retention and experience in physics and astrophysics major units. Using quantitative (surveys) and qualitative data (interviews with students) this project aims to explore who takes physics and astrophysics major units, why they pursue them, and what...

I offer projects broadly related to supernova explosions and the final stages in the lives of massive stars. Specific topics of interest include fluid dynamics processes in stellar explosions and stellar interiors, birth properties of black holes and neutron stars, supernova light curves and...

The goal of my research is to synthesize and characterize low-dimensional nanomaterials with atomic-scale precision and tailored electronic, optoelectronic, magnetic and chemical properties. In my group, we synthesise these functional nanomaterials from the bottom-up, using protocols of...

I supervise a wide range of PhD projects on experimental research into the electronic properties of novel quantum materials including topological insulators, graphene, and other atomically thin two-dimensional materials. I am interested in creating a low-power topological transistor, in which an...

My research focuses on the theory of strongly correlated phenomena in cold atomic gases and electron systems. Particular topics of interest include low-dimensional quantum systems, superconductivity and quantum impurities. I was previously part of the Australian Centre of Excellence for Future...

I supervise a wide range of projects in surface and materials physics, with a particular focus on novel electronic materials such as topological insulators where electrons can be transported without dissipation along the edges of the material. It is hoped that these sorts of materials will one...

My primary areas of research activity are two fold: first, studing thermonuclear (X-ray) bursts from accreting neutron stars; and second, searches for optical counterparts of gravitational-wave events with the GOTO telescope network. Projects focussing on thermonuclear bursts will involve...
