Summary of Successful Discovery Projects Proposals for Funding to Commence in 2011 by State and Organisation Australian Capital Territory The Australian National University DP110103369 A/Prof Thushara D Abhayapala Approved Project Title Robust signal processing theory for synthesis and analysis of spatial wavefields 2011 $90,000.00 2012 $90,000.00 2013 $90,000.00 Primary FoR 0906 ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING Administering Organisation Project Summary The Australian National University This project will develop breakthrough signal processing techniques applied to wireless communication, defence and surveillance, entertainment systems, and acoustic imaging. The outcomes will produce new products. The project will also provide high quality research training for gifted postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers. DP110101879 Prof Jon C Altman, A/Prof Boyd H Hunter, Dr William G Sanders, Ms Kirrily Jordan Approved Project Title From welfare to work, or work to welfare: will reform of the Community Development Employment Program help close the employment gap? 2011 $120,000.00 2012 $110,000.00 2013 $100,000.00 Primary FoR 1605 POLICY AND ADMINISTRATION APD Ms Kirrily Jordan Administering Organisation Project Summary The Australian National University This project seeks to improve Indigenous livelihood options through a comprehensive analysis of recent reform of the Community Development Employment Program (CDEP). In examining the impetus for change and tracking outcomes, it will greatly advance understanding of appropriate responses to seemingly intractable Indigenous development problems. DP110100538 Prof Brian D Anderson, Dr Changbin Yu, Dr Guoqiang Mao Approved Project Title Spatially distributed complex multiagent systems 2011 $120,000.00 2012 $110,000.00 2013 $120,000.00 2014 $130,000.00 2015 $120,000.00 Primary FoR 0906 ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING QEII Dr Changbin Yu Administering Organisation Project Summary The Australian National University This project will develop design methodologies for two related classes of technological systems: wireless sensor networks (in particular mobile sensor networks) and formations of mobile robotic agents. These technologies find application today in defence, and will probably become pervasive in the civilian sector.

They appear more commonly than previously thought. Optical rogue waves, the laboratory counterparts of extreme ocean waves, will allow the project to study the main features of the phenomenon, provide the theoretical explanation for their existence and potentially help to eliminate these catastrophic events. DP110102898 Dr Maxime Aubert Approved Project Title A reliable absolute chronology for the Aboriginal rock art in the Kimberley, Western Australia 2011 $140,000.00 2012 $85,000.00 2013 $85,000.00 Primary FoR 2101 ARCHAEOLOGY APD Dr Maxime Aubert Administering Organisation Project Summary The Australian National University The Aboriginal rock art in the Kimberley region of Western Australia is an internationally significant record of human occupation and cultural evolution. This project will determine the antiquity of human expression in one of the richest (and possibly the oldest) rock art regions in the world using advanced analytical techniques. DP110101002 Prof Kenneth G Baldwin, Prof Brian J Orr, Dr Richard B Warrington, Prof Edward E Eyler Approved Project Title Using high resolution lasers to test quantum electrodynamics 2011 $80,000.00 2012 $80,000.00 2013 $80,000.00 Primary FoR 0202 ATOMIC, MOLECULAR, NUCLEAR, PARTICLE AND PLASMA PHYSICS Administering Organisation Project Summary The Australian National University High precision laser based measurements of atomic and molecular structure are benchmarks for our fundamental understanding of matter. This project will undertake state of the art experiments on atomic helium, to test and challenge current theoretical predictions of fundamental quantum electrodynamic properties for helium and for more complex atoms.

The results will enhance mechanistic understanding of temperature tolerance, and inform prediction of vegetation change in response to climate warming and increasing CO2 concentrations. DP110104578 Dr Christopher H Ballard, Dr Jude P Philp, Prof Dr Ton Otto Approved Project Title The original field anthropologist: Nikolai Miklouho Maclay in Oceania, 1871 1883 2011 $70,000.00 2012 $69,000.00 2013 $72,000.00 Primary FoR 2103 HISTORICAL STUDIES Administering Organisation Project Summary The Australian National University This project restores the nineteenth century Russian anthropologist Nikolai Miklouho Maclay to a central position in the histories of anthropology and of the European exploration of Oceania. Interviews with the source communities amongst which he lived will be used to analyse his field drawings and journals, most never previously published in English. DP110103021 Prof Martin G Banwell, Prof Mary J Garson Approved Project Title Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Australian Sponge Metabolites 2011 $200,000.00 2012 $180,000.00 2013 $200,000.00 2014 $140,000.00 Primary FoR 0305 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Administering Organisation Project Summary The Australian National University The development of concise and flexible syntheses of Australian marine natural products and analogues of ecological/therapeutic significance will emerge. Such activities will lead to the identification and evaluation of molecular entities of value in managing marine environments and help to enhance chemical synthesis capacity in Australia.
