Are you interested in joining us as our new Chief Operating Officer? Our Centre aims to bridge the gap between lab research and real-world applications to make Australia a key player in research translation. As COO, you will help to make that happen. rmit.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/RMIT_Careers/j…

We’re looking for someone to look after the operations of 200 researchers, helping us to make Australia a key player in research translation. Does this sound like you? Apply today (because applications close tomorrow at 11.59pm!).

A big congratulations to our Chief Investigator Heike Ebendorff who won an Australian Research Council Industry Laureate Fellowship to develop more 'pure' optical fibres that could help our internet travel faster and over longer distances. Well done Heike! arc.gov.au/funding-resear…

Well done to our Chief Investigator Sumeet Walia and Aishani Mazumder! This research is an exciting step forward for our COMBS research, overcoming the energy-hungry processing challenge to make more efficient devices for self-driving cars and real-time information processing.

Well done to our Chief Investigator Prof. Meghan S. Miller on this fantastic article in The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand! During our 7-year Centre of Excellence, we hope to develop rapid, real-time devices to better understand earthquakes such as those that will occur on the Alpine Fault.

Well done to our Director Arnan Mitchell & Chief Investigator Sumeet Walia, along with Akram Hourani & Margaret Lech from RMIT Research! The project aims to develop a brain-inspired miniaturised sensory device for autonomous vision in stealth detection & target tracking.

Are your research leaders looking to win more grant funding? Our Director Arnan Mitchell will be speaking on 30 Aug about how science communication can help researchers to establish reputation and demonstrate a track record to win grant funding. eventbrite.com.au/e/a-damn-good-…

We are so excited to introduce our new website to the world! Also, if you are interested in joining our Australian Research Council Centre, we are currently taking expressions of interest for PhD and Postdoctoral positions via the form on our Open Positions page. combs.org.au
