1Health care associated infections (HCAls)PhD / Masters / BachelorScience/MedicineDubai PoliceThere is little documented information about the potential of touch screen devices (TSDs) to be contaminated and a source of microbes/pathogens in medical institutions (hospitals, clinics, dentist practises) contributing potentially to patients and staff acquiring nosocomial infections. Our approach is to collect swabbed samples from the surface of TSDs in medical institutions and run a full next generation DNA sequencing-based profiling and identification of all microbes (bacteria, viruses, fungi, protists) present on such platforms. It is hoped that our study, will provide solid scientific evidences that TSDs are strong microbial breeding grounds and consequently posing threats/risks to hospitals. Such evidences/datasets will be used to advise medical institutions to adopt actively and implement new guidelines to decontaminate such TSDs for a better infection prevention in HCAls

780% Reversal Halting hands derived infectious borne diseasesPhDBiomedicalDubai PoliceThe Centre for Disease controls is clear: 80% of all infectious diseases are derived from hands. Lack of hand washing practice has always been campaigned but systematic compliance by every single of us remains a challenge. A challenge as hands are always involved in direct contact with living or inanimate entities and therefore likelihood of contaminating hands is always a risk. Contamination of hands with microbes is associated with such hand contacts. To prevent contamination of hands, two major angles can be drastically enhanced to revert hands contamination. First angle of action is to develop means by which each of us is equipped with simple mobile technology tools to render hands free of germs and used as such after every single hand contact like everyday™ human to human contact for example. Second angle is a development of tools/logistics aimed at decontaminating physically inanimate contaminated platforms (fomites) at a large scale to the point of re-inventing innovative tools to tackle and eliminate hot-spot microbial niches responsible for hosting and exposing micro-organisms to humans in general.

8Public ocular recognition as a health diagnostic toolPhDMutli disciplinary Neurology, ophthalmology, Artificial intelligence and computing science.Dubai PoliceRetinal imaging has evolved to the point of examining the back of the eye with great accuracy. The diversity of tissue existing in the human eye include the vascular system among other such as nerve fibers and specific epithelium. While the technology of ocular/retinal imaging is advanced, it relies on a visit of a patient within a clinical or sub-clinical setting so that the appropriate tool is used to check the back of the eyes of such patients. These techniques range from optical coherence tomography, scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, fundus camera imaging and angiography. These techniques have the potential to diagnose some abnormalities of ocular micro-vascular, micro-circulatory and retino-/neuro-anatomical natures. These abnormalities that can be visualized may be used as bio-markers to diagnose vascular diseases such as stroke, chronic diseases such as diabetes, neurological diseases such as Alzheimer. This ocular imaging research enabling future accurate diagnosis is growing and heavily investigated. The objective of this audacious current research is to develop/ design a high resolution public camera capable to screen the back of the eyes and generating images as clear as the common techniques. in parallel, images of common clinical ocular images would be used to create an algorithm by means of artificial intelligence. The capacity to capture public ocular images to linked instantly with Al made ocular diagnostic algorithms will enable immediate primary health prevention and optimal lifesaving medical attention

56Using Green Hydrogen as a Clean Energy for Remotely Piloted Aircraft System RPAS
Partners: CQU, UoS, AA
Project cost: $40,000
Master/PhDEnvironmental/
Engineering
Aviation AustraliaThe use of hydrogen as alternative energy has become very attractive due to its excellent physical and chemical properties. CQU has recently invested in Hydrogen production, transportation, safety, and applications. Aviation Australia offers training in Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) and has expanded its training products in drone technologies and renewable energies in the Aerospace and Aviation Industries.
The development of a rapid change fuel cell system for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs, commonly called drones) will minimise down-time during long aerial missions. This proposed collaboration between UoS, CQU and Aviation Australia will cover 24 months. We will integrate a hydrogen fuel cell system into a 5-7kg multirotor remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS) and conduct comprehensive data collection for the purposes of implementing this emerging technology across industries, like agriculture, public health, security, data gathering and others. This project seeks to integrate hydrogen fuel cells that are reusable and completely adaptable to facilitate longer range and endurance for aerial applications such as orbiting over emergency situations, surveying large areas, monitoring environmental risks or delivering essential medical supplies on short notice.
The integration of a reliable zero-carbon emission hydrogen fuel cell to power RPAS will reduce the impact to the environment when compared with conventional power sources and will help further development of long-range RPAS use across industry. Hydrogen fuel cells have a much higher effective energy density compared to conventional propulsion fuel/energy. Compressed hydrogen has an energy per unit mass of nearly 40,000Wh/kg compared to lithium-ion batteries which can achieve 260wh/kg. This higher energy density allows greater endurance/payload weight depending on the configuration.

57Development of Hydrogen Economy, Energy Demand Growth Prediction and Assessment Using an Artificial Intelligent and Dynamic approach for UAE / AustraliaMaster/PhDEnvironmental/
Engineering
Aviation AustraliaAdoption of hydrogen energy as an alternative to fossil fuels is one of the major steps towards decarbonizing and fulfilling the needs of the energy sector. Hydrogen proven to be the most ideal alternative energy source for many fields compared with other alternatives. There are many potential environmental challenges that are not limited to production and distribution systems, but they also focus on how hydrogen is used through fuel cells and combustion pathways. The use of hydrogen has received little attention in research and policy, which may explain the widely claimed belief that nothing, but water is released as a by-product when hydrogen energy is used. Artificial intelligence approaches are being used to construct a conceptual model for hydrogen energy with a special focus on hydrogen use to assess the possible unintended consequences and potential interventions; and to highlight the possible growth of hydrogen energy by 2030, 2040 and 2050.
This study provides insights and information on the future of hydrogen energy demand and highlights the risks that may affect the sector, which may assist policy makers to understand and test their options for the transition to a hydrogen economy. The outcome of this study will enable more effective decisions and/or policy changes to obtain much better outcomes and avoid undesirable ones. There are significant benefits for the transition to a hydrogen economy.

58Sustainable Aviation—Hydrogen Is the FutureMaster/PhDEnvironmental/
Engineering
Aviation AustraliaThis work aims to trace the historical growth and future of the aviation and aerospace industry. It examines how hydrogen can be used in the air and on the ground to lower the aviation industry’s impact on the environment. In addition, while aircraft are an essential part of the aviation industry, other support services add to the overall impact on the environment. Hydrogen can be used to fuel the energy needs of these services. However, for hydrogen technology to be accepted and implemented, other issues such as government policy, education, and employability must be addressed. Improvement in the performance and emissions of hydrogen as an alternative energy and fuel has grown in the last decade. However, other issues such as the storage and cost and the entire value chain require significant work for hydrogen to be implemented. The international community’s alternative renewable energy and hydrogen roadmaps can provide a long-term blueprint for developing the alternative energy industry. This will inform the private and public sectors so that the industry can adjust its plan accordingly.

62Biogas production from waste water – as pathway for Blue hydrogen production
(A case study for biogas generation from covered anaerobic ponds treating abattoir wastewater: Investigation of pond performance and potential biogas production)
Master/PhDEnvironmental/
Engineering
Aviation AustraliaThe aim of this project is to conduct an energy audit on a commercial abattoir and adopt the recent technology to convert the waste water into a useful biogas. Covered anaerobic ponds offer significant advantages to the red meat processing industry by capturing methane rich gas as a fuel source for bioenergy while reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). This paper presents the results of a novel-designed anaerobic pond system at an Australian abattoir in relation to pond performance and potential biogas production. Key findings in assessing the effectiveness of the system revealed that the covered ponds are capable of efficient wastewater decomposition and biogas production. The primary issue with the covered ponds at the abattoir was the build-up of fat/crust that prevented the accurate measurement of biogas and effective use of the cover. In the absence of field biogas data the novel application of the computer modelling software BioWin® was carried out to simulate chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rates and subsequent biogas yield.

Therefore, the research will include the identification of core competencies, functional competencies and technical competencies. This project will be divided into five phases:
Stage 1. In the first stage, through a literature review a number of potential usages of UAVs and support systems by the Army will be identified.
Stage 2. In the second phase, through literation review and surveys, the knowledge, skills and professional attributes required to support the anticipated UAV applications will be identified.
Stage 3. This will be followed by a thorough review of the current qualifications in Australia to identify any gaps in competencies related to the future skills identified in phase 2.
Stage 4. The fourth phase, project will recommend new and updated qualifications to deliver the competencies required to upskill the future UAV workforce.
Stage 5. The final phase will produce the project deliverables including a journal paper and Land Power Forum Blog.

66Developing a single source LMS system for VET and HE programs – Aviation case study EASA Master/PhDEnvironmental/
Engineering
Aviation AustraliaThe Aviation sector is evolving, and its training products constantly need updating as new policies and processes are introduced in response to safety concerns. Often a process or procedure forms part of multiple tasks in aviation. For example, a change in the process of tightening or loosening nuts and bolts, may appear in multiple training tasks. Hence, updating courseware would require the course developer identify and update all occurrences of the process within a program. With the single source model, courseware is broken down into smaller learning elements, and duplication is eliminated. Thus, updates to courses are simpler to manage, as one has to change only the master learning element and this would update all instances within the course.
This project was developed and implemented in-house at Aviation Australia. The platform can be used by any training organisation where there is a core body of knowledge used by multiple programs.

67Green hydrogen production – opportunities and challenges
Green Hydrogen Production from waste
Master/PhDEnvironmental/
Engineering
Aviation AustraliaIn collaboration with Aircraft Australia, the project aims to develop a small, but scalable, prototype of ammonia production from waste. Ammonia is a viable hydrogen storage media, as it is already in use in the agriculture industry. Importantly, policies and infrastructure already exists for the safe transport and storage of ammonia. Extracting green hydrogen from ammonia is far simpler than from current green hydrogen production methods. Detail information can be provided for the candidate.

68Producing Hydrogen from Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (CCUS)Master/PhDEnvironmental/
Engineering
Aviation AustraliaWhile Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage facilities have been growing to meet Net Zero goals, research has also been growing around the challenges of safely storing and using hydrogen as a fuel. In addition to ammonia, methanol is a good hydrogen container. Methanol has higher volumetric energy density than hydrogen gas. Like ammonia, policies and processes for safely storing and transporting methanol exist. The conventional method of producing methanol through steam reforming is still cheaper than attempting to produce methanol from CO2 hydrogenation method, which makes use of CO2 as a feedstock. Research into lowering the costs of CO2 hydrogenation method is underway.

69Developing a cheap, reliable hydrogen electrolyser catalystMaster/PhDEnvironmental/
Engineering
Aviation AustraliaResearch is being carried out with Fuel Cell Enabling Technologies (FCET) to identify and develop a cheap and reliable catalyst for a hydrogen electrolyser. This electrolyser is based on a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) that FCET developed and uses a catalyst to produce hydrogen. By lowering the cost of the catalyst and improving the reliability of the process, it would be possible to efficiently produce green hydrogen cheaply.

70Catalysts for hydrogen production through alternate sourcesMaster/PhDEnvironmental/
Engineering
Aviation AustraliaThe above study can be expanded to identify and develop cheap and reliable catalysts for the production of hydrogen from other sources, like methanol or ammonia. The advantage of this is that policy, processes and infrastructure for safely producing, storing and transporting ammonia and methanol exist. Thus, new hydrogen fuelled systems can be introduced with minimum disruptions, enabling the world to meet net zero goals as targeted.
