Theoretical studies of localisation of ultra-cold atoms in disordered media.
Theoretical studies of localisation of ultra-cold atoms in disordered media. The candidate should have a good mathematical grounding and be competent writing and running computer simulations. Read more
Synthesis of Carbon-rich Molecular Materials
New carbon-rich molecular materials, based on well-defined nanographenes and other novel polyaromatic architectures, will be rationally synthesised to better understand structure-property relationships. Read more
Identify novel approaches to combat multi drug resistant pathogens
Our research is focused on recalcitrant ESKAPE (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, andEnterobacter species) pathogens; especially hard-to-treat clinical isolates involved in multidrug resistance, biofilm infections and persistence.

Design and synthesis of chemical tools to interrogate cannabinoid receptors
Research project. We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join an interdisciplinary team at the University of Otago, to undertake research developing chemical probes for the cannabinoid receptor, a type of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). Read more
Rydberg quantum optics
This project will develop a single-photon source emitting directed photons on demand – the holy grail for quantum communications. Read more
Reactive collisions
Ultracold chemistry aims at controlling chemical reactions at the quantum state level. At its heart lies the idea of placing molecules into a single rotational, vibrational, electronic, and hyperfine state, and exploring how this affects their reactivity. This Ph.D. Read more
Ideal quantum turbulence in planar Bose-Einstein condensates
Ideal quantum turbulence in planar Bose-Einstein condensates involves self-organisation of vortices into macroscopic Onsager vortices associated with negative temperatures. Read more
Approximating many-body quantum states using deep learning
Description. Many-particle quantum systems cannot be simulated in practice because the size of the vectors and matrices involved are too large to fit in a computer’s memory. Read more
Protecting Mum: how hormones act on neural circuitry to regulate postpartum mood and behaviour
Mammals give birth to dependent offspring and significant parental involvement is required to ensure offspring survive. During pregnancy and in the early postpartum period, hormones act on neural circuitry to bring about key changes in a mother's mood and behaviour. Read more
Role of RyR2 posttranslational modification in arrhythmias
Cardiac arrhythmias remain the leading cause of death in patients with heart disease. An important trigger for arrhythmias is the inappropriate opening of the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2). Read more
Sex differences in epicardial fat modulation of cardiac function
This project will aim to determine whether structural and physiological properties of epicardial adipose tissue are responsible for the sex differences in human myocardial function and cardiac arrhythmogenicity. Read more
Oxytocin neuron activity in lactation
Pulsatile secretion of the hormone, oxytocin, is essential for milk delivery during suckling and its secretion from the posterior pituitary gland is triggered by coordinated bursts of action potentials across the population of oxytocin neurons. Read more
Charting new neuronal survival pathways in Parkinson’s disease
The Neurodegenerative and Lysosomal Disease Laboratory is interested in the molecular and cellular basis of neurodegenerative disease, particularly how lysosome dysfunction influences the development of Batten disease and Parkinson’s disease. Read more
Understanding the underlying pathological mechanisms to find a cure for Batten disease
The Neurodegenerative and Lysosomal Disease Laboratory is interested in the molecular and cellular basis of neurodegenerative disease, particularly how lysosome dysfunction influences the development of Batten disease and Parkinson’s disease. Read more
Primordial Cooperative Biological Systems
