Cheryl Law - IPAS Best Transdisciplinary Paper Award
- Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2022, 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
- Location: The Braggs Building, Level 2
Identification and quantification of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs)—extremely toxic chemicals—remain challenging due to their chemical diversity, and their inert optical and chemical nature. Our work presents a new optical system utilizing chemically-functional sensing platform to maximize sensitivity and selectivity to PFAS by monitoring its optical characteristics upon chemical interaction

Emily Ahern - IPAS Best Industry Collaboration Paper winner
- Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2022, 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
- Location: The Braggs Building, Level 2
Building upon technology developed at UoA an industry collaboration with SmartSat CRC and QuantX Labs (previously Cryoclock) saw the initial stages of development of a clock suitable for small satellite applications. I presented the outcomes of this work to defence and industry stakeholders in the Inaugural SmartSat CRC Conference

Katharina Richter - IPAS Best Early Career Research Paper winner
- Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2022, 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
- Location: The Braggs Building, Level 2
Best medical care with antibiotics increasingly fails to defeat superbugs, stressing the need for better treatments. In a transdisciplinary collaboration with an industry partner, we developed a new technology producing plasma-activated water: When lightning strikes water, a powerful treatment is created that could even kill superbugs like Golden Staph.

Weikun Huang - IPAS Best Student Paper Award winner
- Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2022, 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
- Location: The Braggs Building, Level 2
This ‘state-of-the-art’ review describes the development and current status of calcium ion (Ca2+) sensors in tracing Ca2+ of cells, with a focus on the relevance of Ca2+ to insulin secretion in the pancreatic islets that govern metabolic homeostasis. Insights into Ca2+ sensors have a high potential to facilitate better understanding of islet function and development of novel interventions.

Researching the Effects of the Presence and Absence of Ionizing Radiation - The REPAIR Project in SNOLAB
- Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2022, 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
- Location: The Braggs Building, Level 2
Considerable attention has been given to understanding the biological effects of low-dose ionizing radiation exposure at levels slightly above background. However, relatively few studies have been performed to examine the inverse, where natural background radiation is removed.
Yoshi Arita - Photopolymerisation with structured light: new directions in direct laser writing
- Date: Thu, 5 May 2022, 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
- Location: The Braggs Building, Level 2
Direct laser writing (DLW) by two-photon polymerisation is a well-established technique for printing three-dimensional structures with a sub-micrometre resolution by scanning a tightly focused laser beam along a predefined path [1].
Andy Boes - Photonic Integrated Circuits and their applications
- Date: Thu, 12 May 2022, 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
- Location: The Braggs Building, Level 2
Photonic integrated circuits are transitioning from speculative research to a mature industrially scalable platform supporting integration of active and passive optical components on a single chip.
