Our research groups and projects

Displaying 19 - 24 of 41 research projects

Cognitive Science

The Cognitive Science research group investigates different views of cognition to better understand how humans interact in increasingly complex information environments. The group is located within the School of Information Systems at QUT.

Life Sciences Innovation Export Hub

The Life Sciences Innovation Export Hub is a collaboration between Life Sciences Queensland, QUT and the Australia-China Technology Incubator. The Hub brings together industry and research expertise from the Queensland life sciences sector with dedicated Asian export capability and knowledge.

Polymer Networks and Biomaterials

QUT research focused on developing new polymers and understanding the relationships between polymers and biological systems

Medicinal Molecules and Materials Group

The Medicinal Molecules and Materials Group is a collaborative team of organic, medicinal and polymer chemists, looking to understand how precision chemistry can be used to solve clinical health problems. We create new synthetic strategies, design new functional molecules and materials, and develop structure-function relationships using in depth chemical characterisation and biological evaluation.

Quantitative Applied Spatial Ecology Group

The questions we are researching revolve around wildlife management, biodiversity, invasive species and food security

Inorganic Nanomaterials Lab

We study inorganic nanomaterials, synthesis of nanomaterials and green technologies using in situ TEM
