Wave phenomena of diverse nature have a strikingly similar feature of vorticity, with the energy or matter spiralling around isolated phase singularities. This project targets the fundamental theoretical research in an interdisciplinary field of singular waves transporting vortices in nonlinear and inhomogeneous media. Our project will contribute to the designated priority area "Frontier Technologies for Building and Transforming Australian Industries" by providing fundamental understanding of novel physical phenomena and underpinning technological advances in the fields of photonics, atom, and electron optics, where Australia has built strong expertise and plays a significant role in the international development.

不同性质的波现象具有惊人相似的涡性特征，能量或物质围绕孤立的相位奇点旋转。本课题主要从事非线性非均匀介质中奇异波传递涡旋的跨学科基础理论研究。我们的项目将通过提供对新物理现象的基本理解和支持光子学、原子和电子光学领域的技术进步，为指定的优先领域“建设和改造澳大利亚工业的前沿技术”做出贡献，澳大利亚在这些领域已经建立了强大的专业知识，并在国际发展中发挥了重要作用。
