Forging new links: Diophantine problems, modular forms and number fields. This project will result in a deeper understanding of fundamental objects in mathematics including Diophantine equations, modular forms, and number fields. By applying techniques across mathematics including arithmetic geometry, algebraic number theory, arithmetic statistics, computational number theory and integer programming, we will establish new, concrete links between these fundamental objects. The knowledge transfer enabled through these new links will allow deeper understanding of these fundamental objects. The fusing of varied techniques and international collaboration will reinforce Australia's role as a global leader within mathematics. There is potential long-term benefit to cybersecurity via the study of elliptic curves. Field of research: 4904 - Pure Mathematics Numbers have played a key role in human civilisation for over 40,000 years. Numbers may appear simple at first glance, however, there are many mysterious patterns and phenomenon yet to be discovered. This project uses innovative ideas to establish new links between fundamental objects in mathematics to shed light on some of these mysteries. The variety of techniques employed will attract and involve world leaders from key disciplines across mathematics. Australia will become a thriving hub for knowledge exchange, international collaboration and networking at the interface of computational number theory (a current strength) with Diophantine equations and elliptic curves, thereby reinforcing and diversifying Australia's research strengths. Elliptic curves, and more broadly computational number theory, play a key role in practical cryptography, and many digital systems today rely on elliptic curve cryptography. Gaining new insights into elliptic curves will advance Australian research in cybersecurity. Australians will benefit in their daily lives through increased levels of security in communications and financial transactions. There is a global shortage of graduates with strong mathematical abilities, despite a high demand. This project will contribute to the training of students in mathematics which promises a boost to the Australian economy. This project requires little physical equipment and the multiple benefits to Australia makes it exceptionally cost-effective.

Quantum-confined Semiconducting Polymeric Carbons for CO2 Photoconversion. Capture carbon by carbon nanomaterials and sunlight. This research aims to realise viable CO2 photoconversion using quantum-confined semiconducting polymeric metal-free carbons. Main objective is to achieve an unprecedented 30% apparent quantum efficiency in the visible light range, which is the most efficient range but never been recorded. The findings of this proposal will address key questions in the emerging field of low-dimensional carbons and semiconducting polymers for light-harvesting, focusing on their notable performance, mechanism, chemistry, and structure-engineering for CO2 photoconversion. This research promises reduced energy costs and enhanced energy security, essential for Australia's transition to a low-carbon economy. Field of research: 3406 - Physical Chemistry Australia's ambitious carbon reduction goals, including a 43% emission cut by 2030 and reaching net-zero emissions by 2050, have prompted the initiation of this project. It centres on the advancement of semiconducting polymeric carbon photocatalysts to tackle the prevailing challenges of low activity, limited quantum efficiency, and reduced conversion selectivity. These have the potential to produce clean energy sources by using CO2 as a useful feedstock to achieve a green energy cycle through photochemical conversion. This project leverages Australia's abundant sunlight resource and carbon materials to convert CO2 selectively and efficiently into green fuels. We aim to utilise the wide spectrum of sunlight, especially visible light region, that has not been effectively harvested due to large bandgaps of general inorganic semiconductors – that use a limited ultraviolet (UV) range. Apart from benefits in knowledge, these efforts are key to establishing efficient clean energy production cycles on CO2 photoconversion, ultimately integrating hydrogen energy, and enhancing electricity storage grids in Australia’s renewable energy system. These technologies would significantly boost the renewable energy sector, creating jobs and positioning Australia as a leader in green technology. Ultimately, this project supports the transition towards a zero-carbon energy cycle, aligning with both national and global objectives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Field of research: 4009 - Electronics, Sensors and Digital Hardware The growing demand for solar energy requires the development of lightweight, affordable, and flexible alternative photovoltaic (PV) technologies that can broaden the application scenarios, such as building integrated photovoltaics. Perovskite PV stands out as a highly promising emerging PV technology. Despite its substantial progress in the laboratory setting, its full-scale field deployment has been hindered by outdoor instability. This project aims to tackle this hurdle and navigate the transition from lab-to-field application, a critical step in making perovskite PV a commercially viable alternative in Australia’s energy landscape, aligning seamlessly with Australia's Science and Research Priorities, specifically the "Energy" priority. The expected outcome of this project lies in maximising renewable energy generation in Australia, leading to more affordable electricity for consumers. Moreover, it will play a significant role in achieving Australia’s aspirations of carbon neutrality by reducing CO2 emissions. Market-relevant intellectual property will be secured and licenced to related local industries to manufacture next-generation solar panels. The evolution and deployment of perovskite PV could stimulate the creation of a new industry in Australia, fostering job creation and economic growth.
