Project Delivery Harmonisation for Urban Micromobility Infrastructure . This project aims to enhance delivery of micromobility projects by improved collaboration and consensus building among governments, private practice and communities through participatory research. This project is expected to yield substantial benefits, including facilitating the allocation of billions of dollars for many smaller-scale projects, leading to significant local economic growth. It aims to achieve the strategic goals of governments concerning health and decarbonisation, stemming from increased physical activity and reduced reliance on private vehicles. We will promote our research outcomes through high-profile industry organisations and partnerships with local and state governments to ensure widespread understanding and adoption. Field of research: 3304 - Urban and Regional Planning Smaller-scale urban transport devices such as bicycles, e-bikes, cargo bikes, scooters, and mobility aids for seniors and individuals with disabilities, are experiencing rapid growth worldwide. These devices offer significant environmental, social, and health benefits by making everyday trips easier and more sustainable. However, Australia lags behind other countries in providing safe and convenient facilities for these modes of transport. Many Australians express a desire to use these alternatives but will only do so if safe infrastructure is available. All levels of government acknowledge the necessity for this transition, with billions of dollars planned for projects across Australia. However, progress has been slow, and at the current pace, it would take hundreds of years to establish safe, city-wide networks. This project aims to overcome the primary challenge: navigating a uniquely complex consultative and regulatory landscape for project delivery by developing a consensus-building framework. By understanding both the technical and social complexities within localised contexts, we can create innovative approaches that will lead to more equitable and inclusive transport systems. This initiative will yield substantial environmental, social, and health benefits for the Australian community.

Understanding the neural mechanisms underlying adaptive behaviour. Some species exhibit the ability to suitably adapt their behaviour in dynamic environments. A key gap in knowledge is how new experiences can be properly intertwined with pre-existing learning while avoiding interference and disarray. This project seeks to identify the cellular and circuit mechanisms underlying behavioural change. Using established behavioural tasks to measure memory interference, with cutting-edge neuroscience techniques for in vivo imaging and manipulation of brain circuits in behaving mice, this Fellowship aims to unravel how major neuromodulatory systems intersect to modify future behaviours. The translation of this work may lead to better ways to treat inflexible traits and to develop new adaptive artificial networks. Field of research: 3109 - Zoology This Fellowship will elucidate the processes that fine-tune brain circuits controlling behaviour. It will employ advanced methods in behavioural neuroscience and computational biology, to record and manipulate the activity and system dynamics of large ensembles of neurons. This in-depth knowledge can only be gained through the implementation of these sophisticated models and techniques, which are available in my laboratory. Understanding the mechanistic basis of adaptive behaviour is essential for comprehending how humans and non-human animals interact with an ever-changing environment. Accordingly, these findings are relevant to disorders characterised by maladaptive and inflexible traits. Moreover, outcomes from this Fellowship will inform those working at the frontiers of systems engineering and learning theory, and may help develop novel biologically-inspired neural networks. Finally, this Fellowship will facilitate interdisciplinary training for emerging scientists and collaboration with international partners, strengthening Australia's international scientific reputation.

Transforming gene testing to make communities safe. Waterborne pathogens pose a significant public health threat globally, leading to adverse health impacts and high prevention costs. This Fellowship will support the development and future commercialisation of a new gene testing technology for such pathogens based on programmable nucleases. While these nucleases are known for precise gene editing, we discovered their potential for ultrasensitive biosensing. Driven by innovative biochemistry, the new method promises to be faster than conventional gene-based tests, offering a highly accurate (>99%) and scalable alternative to lab-based diagnostics at lower cost. In collaboration with the Key Industry Partner, we will faciliate market entry of the new tests and train an industry-ready team. Field of research: 3101 - Biochemistry and Cell Biology This Fellowship project aims to develop innovative methods of testing for waterborne microbial contaminants. Working in partnership with an Australian water testing company Biopoint Pty Ltd. this program will create world-first ultrasensitive tests that offer a combination of low cost and high throughput. The test results will be based on genetic profiles of the tested microorganisms allowing precise distinctions between harmful and harmless strains. Such tests do not currently exist because it has been challenging to achieve adequate sensitivity to meet the regulatory environmental standards, especially under field testing conditions. In the short term, the project outcomes will reduce the costs of testing water quality and monitoring wastewater conditions. In the longer term, the commercially significant testing platform created in this project will be applied to the highly sensitive detection of a wide range of genetic sequences. This will transform the $1.4 billion water testing market, and make a further significant impact on the molecular testing market ($ 16 billion). Australia will benefit by establishing a new commercial-ready highly customisable methodology tailored for water monitoring and management of national biosecurity. The outcomes will include the domestic production of test kits for both Australian and export markets, supporting the long-term growth of the national industry, while delivering environmental and social benefits to the Australian community.
