UNSW PhD student Richard Rademacher is applying his skills and Defence experience to the growing quantum computing industry. His PhD project with industry partner Diraq aims to expand knowledge of modelling and simulation of silicon spin qubit quantum computers.
Defence Trailblazer is excited to announce a strategic partnership with the University of Adelaide and QuantX Labs, aimed at advancing cutting-edge quantum technologies.
This partnership, building on four years of collaboration, will focus on advancing atomic clock technology with an aim to exceed current industry standards and significantly enhance navigation networks.
Through the IRP, a PhD candidate from the University of Adelaide, Chung Fang, is now working at Saab Australia to research how large-scale autonomous swarms can assist difficult underwater missions with their ability to cover a larger sea area, sense more objects, and do this at a lower cost than traditional crewed assets.
The Defence Trailblazer is seeking research proposals from our industry partners. Our Industry Research Program (IRP) is an opportunity for partners to access highly skilled postgraduate research students to work on an industry research project full-time or part-time for up to 4 years.
Ayad is currently the Lead Avionics and Control System Engineer with Geodrones Australia, and heads the avionics and sensory payload team. He thrives in a dynamic and challenging environment, and excels in developing smart sensors and AI-based control solutions.
Lily Attwood is up for the challenge. She’s currently completing an MPhil (Civil, Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering) whilst working as a Research Associate in Hypersonic Testing, both at UNSW Canberra.
