Collaborating research institutes, centres and groups

National Biofilms Innovation Centre (NBIC)

NBIC is the central hub where academia, industry, government and public policy come together to tackle the grand challenges biofilms present, impacting $4 trillion in global economic activity.

Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics Group

Our group undertakes research on fundamental fluid dynamics, applied aerodynamics, flow control, flight dynamics and aeroacoustics.

Astronautics Group

Our published research activities have made a substantial contribution to advancing the field; and hardware developed by members has successfully flown on various space missions, including on the International Space Station.

Microbiology

We work on topics like patient treatment regimens, catheter design and management, and surgical instrument decontamination.
