Science research

Personalise

The development of new experimental, analytical and computational methods is one of our research strengths. Our unique capabilities combined with our multidisciplinary approach allow us to approach complex challenges from a variety of perspectives. You’ll have access to research that no other Australian university has done because of our relationship with the Australian Defence Force and the defence industry.

Applied & industrial mathematics

From understanding the dynamics and impacts of bushfires to tracking the survival of penguins, we use mathematical methods and scientific computing to find practical solutions to real-world problems.

Astronomy & astrophysics

We apply the physical laws of microphysical processes to explain astronomical events and determine the lifecycle of stars, planets and galaxies in the Universe and how the Universe has changed with time.
