My research contributions are in processing-structure-property relationships of structural alloys for high performance applications, with key interests in aerospace. Currently, these materials include Ni-based superalloys, advanced steels, Ti-alloys, and refractory metals processed by thermo-mechanical routes or 3D printing. I combine state-of-the-art experimental techniques such as multiscale correlative microscopy with mechanical testing and contemporary modelling approaches. My research philosophy is to achieve a balance between fundamental discovery and industrial application. I am excited about developing the next generation of structural metallic materials in collaboration with industrial partners.I am an editor of Journal of Materials Science, current vice chair of the TMS Phase Transformations Committee, and active member of other professional organisations such as Materials Australia.Check out 'Engineering Microstructures' (group website) and '3D Additive' for more information on my research:http://www.engineeringmicrostructures.comhttps://www.3dadditive.com.au

My key areas of expertise lies within Astronomy and Astrophysics. Particularly, stars, planets, and the Milky Way.I use asteroseismology -- the ringing inside stars from star quakes -- to infer the physical properties of stars, such as their size, mass, and age.To measure the signature of this `music of the stars' I work closely with NASA to obtain data using the Kepler, K2, and TESS space telescopes; they measure tiny brightness variations of stars that reveal the frequencies of the stellar ringing.My group is pioneering the use of Artificial Intelligence, such as Deep Learning image recognition, to analyse large amount of asteroseismic data we receive from NASA.To get in touch, please use: d.stello -add- unsw.edu.au

Professor Sylvia Gustin is the Rebecca L. Cooper Senior Research Fellow, Director of the NeuroRecovery Research Hub at the UNSW, Director of the Centre for Pain IMPACT at Neuroscience RTesearch Australia (NEURA), and leads the Pain Research, Education and Management Program at UNSW. She is Chair of the ENIGMA chronic pain working group and Senior Principal Research Scientist at NeuRA.Sylvia completed her Ph.D. at the University of Tuebingen, Germany in 2006 in Psychology and immigrated to Australia in 2007. Since then Sylvia has been using brain imaging techniques and psychological assessment to investigate the central and psychological circuits underlying chronic pain and spinal cord injury.Sylvia has 25 years of experience in the use of brain imaging techniques including functional, structural and biochemical magnetic resonance imaging. In addition, she has practiced as a psychologist focusing on the management of chronic pain and spinal cord injury. Her aim is to increase our understanding of the development and maintenance of chronic pain and spinal cord injury, in particular psychological and central components and their association with each other. And, most importantly, to develop and evaluate novel interventions that can provide pain relief and touch restoration via the primary source of pain and sensation: the brain.Sylvia’s research is supported by the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF), Rebecca L. Cooper Medical Research Foundation, International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), Wings for Life, US Department of Defence (DoD), NSW Defence Innovation Network and NSW Health.
