Information operations, mis/disinformation, “grey zone” activities and malign influence are all major issues for democratic governments worldwide. The online information environment is of particular concern because of the communication that depends upon it, and its potential for large-scale, low-cost influence campaigns – an asymmetric advantage for those who control this space. This "big data" problem involves open-source intelligence (OSINT), but also tools like data science, machine learning, mathematical modelling, as well as collaboration with disciplines like psychology and political science.

Projects will help understand how influence spreads within online/offline social networks. Using real data, you will help develop tools like: influence metrics, both content-based and graph theoretical; community detection and characterisation tools for social networks; temporal network analysis to track narratives; mathematical models for information and behaviour spreading, and much more.

Ensuring well integrity is crucial for safe and successful underground hydrogen storage. The integrity of the wellbore, casing, and cement must be maintained to prevent leakage of hydrogen into the surrounding formations to prevent environmental contamination and also maximizing the storage capacity and ensuring the efficiency of the storage system.

The well concept for underground hydrogen storage (UHS) is similar to oil and gas production, gas storage, and carbon capture and storage (CCS), however there are significant differences due to the physical and chemical characteristics of hydrogen and the process of hydrogen storage itself. Hydrogen’s ability to leak more easily due to its high diffusivity and low viscosity, microbial activity which causes microbially induced corrosion of casing in the wellbore, and the frequent injection and production causes significant challenges to the well integrity of UHS wells.

The proposed research aims to:

1. understand cement’s ability to withstand pressure and temperature cyclic loading which causes leakage pathways (debonding and fractures) to cement to design a suitable cement for UHS application.

2. investigate geochemical reaction of hydrogen with cement, casing, and formation at wellbore interfaces (cement-casing and casing-formation) which is exposed to the mixed reaction of microbial corrosion, hydrogen induced cracking, and cement sulfidation.

3. Study on microbial corrosion (sulfate reduction, and iron (III) reduction), hydrogen induced cracking, and hydrogen embrittle on casing materials to propose material selection guidelines for UHS.

4. develop well integrity evaluation framework to assess the impact of hydrogen on legacy wells and newly drilled wells for UHS.

The study will employ a combination of laboratory experiments and geochemical modelling to examine the potential for casing-cement interface defects to develop under H2 exposure, as well as evaluate the effectiveness of different remediation options.

The outcome will provide experimental and modelling tools for the evaluation of repurposing existing wells or the need for drilling new ones, as well as for long-term modelling of well integrity.

Since 2008, a major focus of the MPR lab has been to work with families with a predisposition to blood cancers with the aim to identify the causal gene/mutation to provide hope and help for management of family planning, disease surveillance, treatment choices and possible prevention measures. We have samples and data on over 230 families and have identified genetic causes in ~25% cases. We and others continue to find new variants associated with blood cancers in known predisposition genes such as GATA2 and ERG that are difficult to classify as pathogenic or benign without performing time-consuming and expensive assays.

In this project, we will use state-of-the-art genomics technologies and bioinformatics analyses together with elegant functional assays to develop a single multiplex assay of variant effect (MAVE) to determine the pathogenicity of every possible amino acid change in both GATA2 and ERG. The aim is to provide an invaluable resource for clinicians, diagnosticians and researchers worldwide who deal with predisposition to blood cancers (and some solid cancers) to benefit family and patient management.

In engineering structures, early-stage defects accumulate progressively under in-service conditions, leading to significant damage and eventual structural failure. Detection of defects is critical to ensure integrity and safety of a wide range of structures spanning the oil and gas, space, energy and power industries. Existing non-destructive inspection techniques are less sensitive to early-stage defects and have very limited functionality for any structures with hard-to-inspect conditions, since these conditions pose challenges for ‘contact-based’ sensing.

This project aims to advance the damage detection technology for structures with hard-to-inspect conditions using fully non-contact laser ultrasonics. This will overcome the limitations of existing non-destructive evaluation (NDE) and structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques. The expected outcomes are significant improvements in the capability and applicability of NDE and SHM in various industries, such as real-time monitoring of structures with hard-to-inspect conditions in industries such as Civil, Mechanical, Space, Energy, Oli and Gas industry. This provides significant cost savings in the integrity inspection of structures.

The project is suitable for candidates in Structural/Mechanical/Civil Engineering or related engineering areas. Candidates with background/experience in acoustics/laser ultrasonics/laser optics will be considered an advantage.

While machine learning-based combinatorial optimization has been extensively studied, its real-world performance often falls short of expectations. Traditional optimization techniques tend to outperform neural network-based solutions. End-to-end neural solvers, in particular, struggle with scalability, as they require solving the problem repeatedly during training, which is only feasible for trivial instances. This project explores how machine learning can be integrated into existing optimization techniques, positioning it in an "assisting" role rather than as a standalone solver. We believe this approach can result in superior algorithms compared to relying solely on traditional optimization methods. One promising theoretical tool is "Fixed Parameter Analysis," which identifies "easy instances" of NP-hard problems. Our preliminary results demonstrate success in integrating fixed parameter analysis with machine learning, leading to promising outcomes.

These parasites undergo a complex process to build the organelles that control their entry into host cells at their apical end. Despite their importance, the proteins that control the biogenesis of these apical organelles are not known.

This project will investigate two evolutionarily divergent parasites: Plasmodium, a mosquito-transmitted parasite that causes malaria, and Cryptosporidium, a gastrointestinal parasite. Project findings will determine when, where and how these parasites build their apical organelles, and if these pathways are evolutionarily conserved. This project forms part of a long term collaboration with Professor Tim Gilberger (University of Hamburg, Berhnard Nocht Institute, Centre for Structural Systems Biology) and will involve a period of time working in Professor Gilberger's lab in Hamburg.
