Title:	An investigation into the development of super steel
Category:	2903 MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING
Collaborating country(ies):	China Germany Japan
Summary:	The proposed fellow demonstrates outstanding achievements in the development of both new materials and numerical modelling for steel rolling. This research project will further enhance collaboration between the State Key Laboratory of Rolling and Automation in China and the Faculty of Engineering at UoW, and will provide an opportunity for postgraduates and postdoctoral fellows in the Faculty to work with an expert of high international standing. The project will significantly benefit Australian manufacturing industry and generate a number of joint journal and conference publications which will improve Australia's reputation in, and knowledge of, the area of super steel strip development.

Title:	Improvement of critical current density in MgB2 wires and tapes and Y-Ba-Cu-O coated conductors
Category:	2606 ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES
Collaborating country(ies):	NZ Sweden USA
Summary:	The results generated during this Fellowship will provide a greater understanding of the sensitivity of the Australasian region to the natural range of climatic variability (far beyond that recorded by historical datasets). Focussing on the past two millennia, the applicant will help investigate the timing, rate and magnitude of change, allowing a robust test of whether past changes were in phase with the Northern Hemisphere. The results will provide a considerably improved context for understanding present and future climate change in the Australasian region.
