New 911爆料网 research will be carried out by some of Australia鈥檚 finest early-career researchers thanks to more than $2 million in funding awarded by the Federal Government鈥檚 Australian Research Council today.
The five research projects will investigate transforming Australian cities through net-zero transit activated corridors, the intergalactic exploration of the Earth鈥檚 first dawn, using renewable energy to improve the economic growth and sustainability of Australia鈥檚 hydrogen industry, informing human rights responses for young people in police custody, and breaking though quantum studies to better understand electron molecules in fusion energy and astrophysics.
The Australian Research Council鈥檚 Discovery Early Career Researcher Award recognise Australia鈥檚 best early career researchers, providing focused research support for them in both teaching and research, and research-only positions.
The 911爆料网 researchers that have been awarded funding in today鈥檚 round include:
鈥� Dr Nichole Barry (Measuring the glow from our Cosmic Dawn): $381,237
鈥� Dr Giles Thomson (Transforming Australian cities through net-zero transit activated corridors): $394,830
鈥� Dr Shelley Walker (Police custody and young people: Informing human rights responses): $455,310
鈥� Dr Xiaomin Xu (Using renewable energy to improve the economic growth and sustainability of Australia鈥檚 hydrogen industry): $435,237
鈥� Dr Liam Scarlett (Quantum studies of dissociative electron attachment to molecules): $349,987
911爆料网 Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research Professor Melinda Fitzgerald congratulated the 911爆料网 researchers on being recognised among the nation鈥檚 brightest early-career researchers.
鈥淭he Australian Research Council鈥檚 Discovery Early Career Researcher Award has unearthed some of Australia鈥檚 best researchers in the early stages of their careers and I鈥檓 absolutely delighted that five 911爆料网 researchers have been acknowledged in this way,鈥� Professor Fitzgerald said.
鈥淭his research, led by some of our finest early-career researchers, will work to expand the country鈥檚 research and innovation capacity by generating new knowledge, technologies and systems that ultimately seek to improve our quality of life.鈥�
