Groups
Advanced Materials and Molecular Design
The Advanced Materials and Molecular Design Research Group is built on excellence in chemical research and research-led teaching of chemistry. We design and develop cutting-edge molecules and advanced materials. Chemistry is the central science and underpins almost all modern technologies; it is expansive in nature and highly innovative.
Alternative Housing
The Alternative Housing Research Group (AHRG) is led by researchers at the School of Architecture and Built Environment, from the disciplines of Architecture and Construction Management.
Applied and Industrial Mathematics
Our vision is to be a leading hub in industrial and applied mathematical research, driving innovation, developing industry connections, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and training applied mathematicians.
Circular Economy and Sustainable Construction
The Circular Economy and Sustainable Construction (CESC) group is a multidisciplinary research team advancing innovation in sustainable building.
Critical Infrastructure Performance and Reliability (CIPAR)
The CIPAR group has a strong national and international reputation within the academic community and industry, with an emphasis on infrastructure resilience.
Interdisciplinary Machine Learning
The Interdisciplinary Machine Learning Research Group conducts research at the intersection of machine learning, AI, pattern recognition, and topological data analysis.
Medical Physics
We are world-leaders in the application of imaging devices to the dosimetric measurement and performance assessment of complex radiation deliveries including development of real-time patient treatment verification systems.
Newcastle Robotics Laboratory
The Newcastle Robotics Laboratory is an interdisciplinary research and training initiative of several robotics related research teams from different research areas including applied mathematics, architecture, computer science, control, electrical engineering, neuroscience, mechatronics and software engineering.
Secure and Reliable Communications
The Secure and Reliable Communications Research Group aims to design communication systems that can resist interference and noise, protect against security and privacy threats, connect millions of devices, and sense the environment through wireless signals.
Sustainable Food Innovation
The University of Newcastle’s Food Science Research Group combines active research scientists involved in food, plant and marine science, human nutrition and agribusiness, delivering quality research and research education opportunities of relevance to the sector.
The University of Newcastle acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands within our footprint areas: Awabakal, Darkinjung, Biripai, Worimi, Wonnarua, and Eora Nations. We also pay respect to the wisdom of our Elders past and present.
