Testing a biopesticide on yellow crazy ants
Peter Yeeles - Zoology & Ecology
28 Feb 2025 - 29 Aug 2025
This project will test the acute toxicity of a newly developed biopesticide on yellow crazy ants (Anoplolepis gracilipes). Synthetic pesticides are currently used for yellow crazy ant management, but have some significant drawbacks including a high risk of non-target effects. Biopesticides have scope for minimising non-target impacts with lower eco-toxological risk profiles than their synthetic counterparts.

Development of a Control System for a Flight Simulator Platform
Eric Wang - Engineering
01 Mar 2025 - 02 Jun 2025
This project involves the development of a control system for a flight simulator platform. The system will retrieve real-time roll, pitch, and yaw data from X-Plane’s API and control two stepper motors and one DC motor accordingly.
A View from the South: exploring Southern Ocean mercury cycling and what it means for the UN Minamata Convention
In December 2021, Australia ratified the UN Minamata Convention on Mercury, joining more than 130 countries committed to protecting human health and the environment from toxic mercury pollution. Now, the global community has turned its attention to evaluating the effectiveness of the Convention. The Southern Ocean region is critical for evidence-based effectiveness evaluation, but atmosphere-ocean mercury cycling in this area is highly uncertain. Bringing together a team of French and Australian mercury science experts, this project will use a suite of models and observations to probe critical uncertainties in the Southern Ocean and bring new insights to global mercury cycling.
