Integrated management of invasive pampas grass

This project develops novel management solutions for alien grasses (with a focus on pampas grass) that threaten the rehabilitation of ash dams associated with power plant closures. The expected outcomes are an improved understanding of the invasive grass species, their responses to different control methods and development of management guidelines. The potential benefits are enhanced rehabilitation outcomes for disturbed landscapes and improved quality of desirable flora and fauna.

Data analytics for enhanced hearing health

This project aims to consolidate hearing health data with other datasets to unlock valuable insights and drive personalised hearing healthcare interventions. The expected outcomes are to streamline access to hearing health data, improve data connectivity, and enhance treatment outcomes. The potential benefit is to facilitate informed decision-making for healthcare providers to enable better patient care.

Communicating in the real world

This project aims to utilise existing sensor technologies to evaluate the impact of hearing loss when communicating in noisy environments. The expected outcome is the discovery of novel analysis methods that utilise multi-sensor fusion techniques. The potential benefit is improved outcomes for individuals with hearing loss.
