Research in computational modelling

Research groups and labs

• CAMEL (Climatic and Metabolic Ecology Lab)

  The research focus in the Climatic and Metabolic Ecology Lab is on how physical constraints on heat, water and nutritional balances limit the behaviour, distribution and abundance of species.

• Centre for Environmental and Economic Research

  A multidisciplinary research group of ecologists, data analysts, economists and animal and plant health specialists that focuses on environmental and economic outcomes.

• Computational Chemistry and Statistical Mechanics

  Understanding complex emergent phenomena through computer simulations and statistical mechanics theory.

• Computational Inorganic Chemistry

  Research focusing on single-molecule magnets (SMMs) for applications in datastorage and spintronics (emerging electronic technology), or as qubits (the basic information units in quantum computing).

• Data Science Group

  Data science combines aspects of statistics, computer science, and mathematics in order to organise, analyse, and extract knowledge from data sets.

• Goerigk Group – Theoretical and Computational Quantum Chemistry

  Our research revolves around the exciting field of quantum chemistry, including both the development of new quantum-chemical methods and applications to organic-, inorganic-, physico- and biochemical problems.

• Mathematical Ecology, Epidemiology and Biosecurity

  This group works on interdisciplinary research problems that focus on developing mathematical and statistical models to support real-world decision-making and policy across the biological sciences.

• Quantitative and Applied Ecology

  QAEco work on a range of topics, species and locations related to ecosystem management. We are committed to research regarding conservation and management decisions and passionate about modelling using a range of methods to understand more about the natural world.

• Quantum Computing and Information

  Developing quantum devices employing nuclear or electron spins based on silicon or diamond, where function is predicated on the quantum physics of precision placed single donor atoms or colour centres in a crystalline matrix.

• Veterinary Epidemiology @ Melbourne

  The veterinary epidemiology group aims to generate new knowledge and techniques that can lead to improvements in animal health, with an emphasis on identifying emerging areas of inquiry, particularly those that cross disciplinary boundaries.
