Our Postdoc @DrCPerrella is at Science Meets Parliament today! If you're around and would like to talk about COMBS, find Chris and have a chat!
Insight into our R&D landscape, the behind-the-scenes life of parliamentarians & tips on how to engage with them.
I thoroughly enjoyed hearing from the expert panelists & connecting with STEM professionals from around Aus at Day 1 of #SMP2024!

Are you at Science Meets Parliament? #SMP2024
Please go and say hello to our friendly COMBS cohort including our Director @ArnanMitchell, Associate Investigator Sarah Scholten @That_Laser_Lady & Postdoc @DrCPerrella (Sarah and Chris will also be there tomorrow!).
4 days, 75 attendees & more than 50 presentations – our inaugural COMBS Workshop last week spanned astronomy, fundamental physics, earthquake monitoring & our internet infrastructure (among others).
Now to get to work and continue the collaboration!
And we're off! Our #COMBS2024 Workshop has begun where we bring together around 80 fundamental physicists, seismologists, internet infrastructure experts, engineers, imaging specialists and more!
With our team spanning 4 states across Aus, it’s always nice when we can see each other in person!
In ACT for the ANZCOP @ausphysics Summer meeting, our Chief Investigator @MeghanSMiller showed our team around the @anuearthscience lab & its earthquake recording equipment!
We are so excited to introduce our new website to the world!
Also, if you are interested in joining our @arc_gov_au Centre, we are currently taking expressions of interest for PhD and Postdoctoral positions via the form on our Open Positions page.

Are your research leaders looking to win more grant funding?
Our Director @ArnanMitchell will be speaking on 30 Aug about how science communication can help researchers to establish reputation and demonstrate a track record to win grant funding.

Well done to our Director @ArnanMitchell & Chief Investigator @SumeetWalia4, along with Akram Hourani & Margaret Lech from @ResearchRMIT!
The project aims to develop a brain-inspired miniaturised sensory device for autonomous vision in stealth detection & target tracking.
I have the privilege of bringing together a team at @RMIT that has been awarded a National Intelligence and Security Discovery Research Grant. Congratulations to our team including Akram Al-Hourani, @ArnanMitchell and Margaret Lech.

Well done to our Chief Investigator @MeghanSMiller on this fantastic article in @ConversationEDU!
During our 7-year Centre of Excellence, we hope to develop rapid, real-time devices to better understand earthquakes such as those that will occur on the Alpine Fault.

Well done to our Chief Investigator @SumeetWalia4 and Aishani Mazumder!
This research is an exciting step forward for our COMBS research, overcoming the energy-hungry processing challenge to make more efficient devices for self-driving cars and real-time information processing.
We have demonstrated a single-chip that mimics visual capture, processing and storing features of the eye and neurons. This unlocks opportunities in smart imaging systems for transport, space, healthcare and information processing. @AdvSciNews

A big congratulations to our Chief Investigator @ProfHeike who won an @arc_gov_au Industry Laureate Fellowship to develop more 'pure' optical fibres that could help our internet travel faster and over longer distances.
Well done Heike!
