ARC Laureate and Future Fellows
Australian Laureate Fellowships
The Australian Laureate Fellowships scheme reflects the Australian Government’s commitment to excellence in research by supporting world-class researchers to conduct research in Australia. Recipients are supported with project funding in addition to a salary supplement and salary-related (on-cost) support for 5 years.
2025-2029
Plate Tectonics, Critical Minerals and our Habitable Earth.Ìý Addressing a grand science quest to understand how our life-nurturing, resource-rich planet came to be.
2025-2029
Advancing the Frontiers of Detection: Ultrasensitive Terahertz Sensing.
2024-2028
Developing nonmetal materials and technologies for frontier green catalysis targeted to contaminant degradation and chemical synthesis by catalytic oxidation processes.
Ìý
2021-2026
Transforming wide-field optical imaging through a new ‘intelligent’ microscopy able to capture 3D volumetric images.Ìý
2021-2026
Developing a toolkit of new battery design principles to deliver high energy-density batteries with outstanding safety profiles and extended cycle lives, which would revolutionise battery technologies and position Australia as a global leader in the critical transition to a decarbonised economy.
2018-2023
Developing novel techniques to investigate Geometric analysis on infinite dimensional bundles, as well as Geometric analysis of pathological spaces with Cantor set as fibre, that arise in models for the fractional quantum Hall effect and topological matter, areas recognised with the 1998 and 2016 Nobel Prizes.
2018-2022
Addressing the efficient and sustainable production of fuels and chemicals using abundant sources like water, carbon dioxide and sunlight by an integrated reaction system.
ARC Future Fellowships
The Australian Future Fellowships provide four-year salary and project funding to excellent mid-career researchers to undertake high quality research in areas of national and international benefit.Ìý
2026-2030
This project, developed in collaboration with Warlpiri artists and organisations, aims to produce the first comprehensive history of Warlpiri art; lead through Warlpiri researchers and storytelling, the project will illuminate the complex cross-cultural legacies of one of Australia's most significant creative movements.
2025-2029
This project aims to revolutionise terahertz technology by developing integrated, silicon-based systems that overcome current limitations, enabling ultra-fast wireless links and laying the groundwork for future 6G networks and advanced sensing applications.
2025-2029
This project develops innovative, low-cost catalysts from waste materials to convert (micro) plastics into valuable chemicals, advancing sustainable water treatment, resource recovery, and environmental protection through optimized nanotechnology and Fenton-like catalysis.
2025-2029
Using a novel acoustic suspension method to grow ovarian follicles in vitro, aiming to enhance viable egg production from stored tissue, improve follicle monitoring, and advance biotechnologies with potential benefits for species conservation and economic impact.
2024-2028
Using a multidisciplinary, cross-species approach to define the functions of malaria proteins involved in host-cell entry, aiming to identify therapeutic targets, advance imaging methods, and position Australia as a leader in malaria research.
Ìý
2024-2028
To combat the misuse of blacklists by authoritarian regimes, the Future Fellowship will work with international organisations and marginalised groups around the world.Ìý The project will create a global blacklist dataset and develop policies to counter repression, supporting international governance and Australia's human rights commitments.
