Research Grant

Researchers Dr CA Musca; Prof L Faraone; Dr EP Smith; Dr D Lofgreen; Mr G Nancarrow

Brief description Australian access to world leading technology in state-of-the-art infrared detectors is key to future advanced systems for defence surveillance and sensing, mineral exploration, biomedical instrumentation, precision agriculture, environmental monitoring and homeland security. This project will ensure that Australia contributes to an integral component required in the development of these technologies allowing early access to future systems. It will also enable Austarlia to play a leading role in setting the research directions for infrared materials that will place Australian research at the forefront in this area.
