CSIRO, through the Water for a Healthy Country Flagship, is undertaking research to underpin the effective management of water quality in the Great Barrier Reef.

Business and services analytics

Our researchers develop mathematical sciences methods and technologies that are applied in many areas of Australia’s services sector, from finance to air traffic to healthcare.

Dr Sam Burnham: identifying biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease

Dr Sam Burnham uses mathematical techniques to study Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia. She works on developing early screening tests, biomarker discovery, quantification of disease severity and better understanding of the disease pathway.

Dr Dana Kai Bradford: improving outcomes for Australians in need

Dr Dana Bradford works at the interface of neuroscience and technology to improve outcomes for specific population groups.

Australia's Marine Ecological Indicators Reports

Research has identified a set of indicators of marine ecosystem health and identified pressures that threaten Australia's marine environment.

Modelling industrial granular flows

We’re using computer modelling techniques to model the flow of granular materials such as pharmaceutical or food powders and mineral sands or ores.

HCA-Vision: software for cytomics

Our HCA-Vision tool helps researchers find more effective, safer pharmaceuticals and better understand the mechanisms of disease. HCA-Vision is an automated image analysis software package that rapidly and reproducibly measures functional features of neuronal cells in images.

Quantitative Imaging: tools for extracting high quality data from images

CSIRO is developing computer vision tools that, like the human eye, can recognise and discriminate between objects but are also able to make detailed, accurate measurements.

Dr Chuong Nguyen: creating 3D models from 2D images

Dr Chuong Nguyen is part of the Quantitative Imaging research group. He specialises in 3D phenotyping and advanced phenomics. This involves creating 3D models of plants and insects from multiple 2D images, so that the characteristics of these organisms can be measured accurately and automatically.

Dr James Hilton: understanding flow in natural hazards and mineral processing

Dr James Hilton researches computational fluid and solid dynamics. His work applies to processes in the mining and minerals industries, and to natural hazards.

Fastflo: fast, flexible software for mathematicians, scientists and engineers

Our Fastflo software has many applications such as modelling air turbulence, understanding cooling processes or simulating pressure changes.

Dr Tomasz Bednarz: image analysis and visualisation expert

Dr Tomasz Bednarz does research in the fields of image analysis, visualisation, computer graphics and human-computer interactions. He leads a project creating cloud-based image analysis and processing tools for biomedical imaging.
