Description

Dynamics of non-spherical particles: towards advanced bio-magnetometry. The project aims to understand how tiny, non-spherical magnetic particles move in fluids and develop new methods for controlling their transportation and detecting them with magnetic sensors sensitively. Filling the knowledge gaps is the key to the development of revolutionary bio-magnetometry techniques. The expected outcomes of the project include cutting-edge technologies and know-how to isolate and detect magnetically-functionalized biological species in bodily fluids, food, and contaminated water samples. The project outcomes are anticipated to benefit Australian agricultural production and aquatic ecosystems and enhance the management of drugs, as well as the remediation of polluted water and lands.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4012 - Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Engineering. Lead: Dr Gungun Lin
