Complexity and universality in nuclear fusion

This Fellowship tackles crucial questions relevant to both foundational nuclear science and nuclear applications: how complex reaction outcomes such as nuclear fusion happen, and how to disentangle this complexity in experimental measurements to support reliable and efficient nuclear technologies and applications. Australia is experiencing rapidly growing demand for nuclear expertise across diverse sectors of the economy such as mining, medical, space and defence. Major national infrastructure initiatives like nuclear medicine production, particle accelerators for cancer treatments, and nuclear-powered submarines underscore the urgent need for more skilled professionals in nuclear science and technology. This Fellowship will help meet that demand by supporting world-class training in nuclear science and high-performance computing relevant to nuclear applications, and inspiring a new gene
