Scientists need to be able to describe their work in a way that’s quick, clear, compelling, and appropriate to their audience. Researchers from three ARC Centres of Excellence will spend a day learning the subtle art of the pitch, practicing on each other and on the group. Researchers will develop a range of pitches to Read More Join us for Physics in the Pub. Physics in the Pub is an informal, light-hearted night where physicists, astronomers, theoreticians, engineers and educators share their love of science. Each presenter has just eight minutes to entertain the audience with stand up, a poem, a song or just a damn-good science talk. As MC, Dr Phil Read More Semiconductor nanowire-superconductor hybrid systems provide a promising platform for hosting unpaired Majorana fermions and thus realizing fault-tolerant topological qubits. In this talk, starting from the basic tenets of quantum transport theory, we demonstrate how to adapt the Non-Equilibrium Green’s Function (NEGF) formalism to model quantum transport in normal (N)-superconductor (S) junctions. We analyze Josephson junctions Read More The Idea Factory brings early career researchers together to develop their skills in a fun and collaborative workshop. In 2019, the focus is on entrepreneurship and innovation. Our next ECR and HDR training event is a collaboration between FLEET and EQUS, ARC Centre of Excellence in Engineered Quantum Systems. The workshop is an excellent opportunity Read More Dr Priyank Kumar TITLE Temperature and light-activated processes and transformations in nanomaterials VENUE: Old Main Building K15, G59 DATE: Wednesday 5th June 11:00-12:00 Download flyer here Abstract: External stimuli such as temperature and light can activate different physical processes in nanomaterials and induce interesting phase/chemical transformations. For instance, transformations induced by temperature are phonon-driven and proceed Read More DR. SEMONTI BHATTACHARYYA Monash University All welcome! The seminar flyer can be downloaded clicking on this link Abstract Topological insulators are a new class of materials characterised by linear gapless surface states, which emerge in the bulk band gap due to non-trivial topology of the band structure. These boundary states are a lucrative candidate for Read More Dr Julie Karel Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Monash University All welcome! The seminar flyer can be downloaded clicking on this link Abstract Many research efforts in condensed matter physics and materials science are directed towards developing methods to modify or realize novel materials properties. Some effective tools for doing this include introduction of Read More Prof Madhu Bhaskaran Functional Materials and Microsystems, RMIT University All welcome! The seminar flyer can be downloaded clicking on this link Oxide based stretchable devices Abstract: Electronics and sensors pervade all aspects of life, needing solutions to make them less obtrusive, which is where fully transparent electronics come into play. Our research focus has Read More ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Professor Chris McConville is Deputy Pro Vice-Chancellor, Research & Innovation for Science, Engineering & Health at RMIT University in Melbourne, a position he has held since 2016. He was previously Professor of Experimental Physics at the University of Warwick, UK – a position he held from 2003-16, and Director of the Science City Read More Controlling materials for advanced and quantum technologies Dr. Colin Heikes. NIST Center for Neutron Research All welcome! The seminar flyer can be downloaded clicking on this link Abstract: Quantum materials must be the building blocks for future new quantum technology priorities, yet we are currently at the stage of discovery and classification of these materials.
