Mathematical and mechanical models in nano-engineering and nanomedicine

全球变暖造成的主要环境问题以及癌症和糖尿病等主要人类健康问题，如果要解决的话，最有可能利用纳米生物技术的进步加以解决。该提案将使澳大利亚成为纳米器件建模的领导者，如千兆赫振荡器、纳米电磁铁、纳米传感器、纳米注射器和纳米多孔介质，适用于氢气储存和气体分离，这将导致新技术和商业衍生产品，这将对这个国家产生重大利益。申请者将开发纳米工程和纳米医学的一系列主题，培训一个团队，为这些重要领域提供下一代的研究人员。

The major environmental problems generated from global warming and the major human health problems, like cancer and diabetes, if they are to be solved at all, will most likely be resolved making use of advances in nanobiotechnology. This proposal will position Australia as a leader in the modelling of nanodevices such as gigahertz oscillators, nano-electromagnets, nanosensors, nanosyringes and nanoporous media suitable for hydrogen storage and gas separation, which will lead to new technologies and commercial spin-offs that will be of major benefit to this country. The applicants will develop a range of topics in nano-engineering and nanomedicine, training a team that will provide the next generation of researchers in these vital areas.
