Centre in Optical Microcombs for Breakthrough Sci

Our COMBS Centre has officially launched! Thank you to @arc_gov_au Acting CEO Richard Johnson for officially launching our Centre. We're looking forward to our journey miniaturising the world's most accurate measurement tool. Learn more! youtube.com/watch?v=RO_nr1…

Join our Astrocombs team, led by one of our Chief Investigators @MTMurphy77! See details below ✨

A big congratulations to our Chief Investigator @MTMurphy77 and Partner Investigators at @keckobservatory on their @Nature paper led by Fan Liu that suggests billions of stars have swallowed up a planet. Featured in New Scientist and The Guardian last week! Read more👇

Shape the future of precision measurement, high-speed communication & sci discovery as a #postdoc at our @UTSEngage node led by @IrinaKabakova2. Receive entrepreneurial & sci comm training & access global industry leaders in your field. Apply today 👇 recruitment.uts.edu.au/OA_HTML/OA.jsp…

Our Postdoc @DrCPerrella is at Science Meets Parliament today! If you're around and would like to talk about COMBS, find Chris and have a chat!

Are you at Science Meets Parliament? #SMP2024 Please go and say hello to our friendly COMBS cohort including our Director @ArnanMitchell, Associate Investigator Sarah Scholten @That_Laser_Lady & Postdoc @DrCPerrella (Sarah and Chris will also be there tomorrow!).

4 days, 75 attendees & more than 50 presentations – our inaugural COMBS Workshop last week spanned astronomy, fundamental physics, earthquake monitoring & our internet infrastructure (among others). Now to get to work and continue the collaboration!

And we're off! Our #COMBS2024 Workshop has begun where we bring together around 80 fundamental physicists, seismologists, internet infrastructure experts, engineers, imaging specialists and more!

With our team spanning 4 states across Aus, it’s always nice when we can see each other in person! In ACT for the ANZCOP @ausphysics Summer meeting, our Chief Investigator @MeghanSMiller showed our team around the @anuearthscience lab & its earthquake recording equipment!

We are so excited to introduce our new website to the world! Also, if you are interested in joining our @arc_gov_au Centre, we are currently taking expressions of interest for PhD and Postdoctoral positions via the form on our Open Positions page. combs.org.au

Are your research leaders looking to win more grant funding? Our Director @ArnanMitchell will be speaking on 30 Aug about how science communication can help researchers to establish reputation and demonstrate a track record to win grant funding. eventbrite.com.au/e/a-damn-good-…

Well done to our Director @ArnanMitchell & Chief Investigator @SumeetWalia4, along with Akram Hourani & Margaret Lech from @ResearchRMIT! The project aims to develop a brain-inspired miniaturised sensory device for autonomous vision in stealth detection & target tracking.

Well done to our Chief Investigator @MeghanSMiller on this fantastic article in @ConversationEDU! During our 7-year Centre of Excellence, we hope to develop rapid, real-time devices to better understand earthquakes such as those that will occur on the Alpine Fault.

Well done to our Chief Investigator @SumeetWalia4 and Aishani Mazumder! This research is an exciting step forward for our COMBS research, overcoming the energy-hungry processing challenge to make more efficient devices for self-driving cars and real-time information processing.

A big congratulations to our Chief Investigator @ProfHeike who won an @arc_gov_au Industry Laureate Fellowship to develop more 'pure' optical fibres that could help our internet travel faster and over longer distances. Well done Heike! arc.gov.au/funding-resear…

We’re looking for someone to look after the operations of 200 researchers, helping us to make Australia a key player in research translation. Does this sound like you? Apply today (because applications close tomorrow at 11.59pm!).

Are you interested in joining us as our new Chief Operating Officer? Our Centre aims to bridge the gap between lab research and real-world applications to make Australia a key player in research translation. As COO, you will help to make that happen. rmit.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/RMIT_Careers/j…
